In 2020, Barco's freshman year, he pitched 19 + 1 ⁄3 innings in which he went 2-0 with a 1.40 ERA and 26 strikeouts before the remainder of the season was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic .[9] He spent that summer playing in the Texas Collegiate League for the Tulsa Drillers .[10] [11] In 2021, Barco started 16 games for the Gators and went 10-3 with a 4.01 ERA, 94 strikeouts, and 26 walks across 83 innings.[12] Following the season's end, he was selected to play for the USA Baseball Collegiate National Team .[13] [14] Barco was named Florida's Opening Day starter for the 2022 season, striking out 11 batters over six innings in a 19-1 win over the South Alabama Jaguars .[15] He was subsequently named the SEC Pitcher of the Week.[16] In mid-April, Barco was shut down indefinitely with elbow discomfort.[17] A few weeks later, it was announced that he would be undergoing Tommy John surgery and would miss the remainder of the season.[18] Over nine starts for the season, Barco went 5-2 with a 2.50 ERA, 69 strikeouts, and 11 walks over 50 + 1 ⁄3 innings.[19]
