Canyon Barry (born January 7, 1994) is an American college basketball player. He is the son of Lynn Norenberg Barry and Rick Barry, a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee. He played basketball for three years at the College of Charleston in Charleston, South Carolina, as well as one year at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. He is most notable for this free-throw shooting, as he shoots "granny style," the way his father popularized during his career. Barry had a .883 free throw percentage as a senior. He set a Florida Gators men's basketball school record for consecutive free throws, surpassing Taurean Green's streak of 37 on February 11, 2017. His streak ended at 42 on February 14 on a night when he posted a season-high 30 points against Auburn. He earned NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Academic All-American of the Year recognition in 2017.
