Nice. I’m guessing he could slide into the starting line up at Safety or LB

 

[SewallBeach]

 

[H.E. Pennypacker]

Nice!

 

[DBT]

Two years of eligibility left.

 

[2001Grad]

This looks like a great pickup at a positioning of need!

Sko Buffs!

 

[MtnBuff]

Big pick up.

Also a Southlake HS grad, hope he can help us get our foot in the door there. That school has put out some massive talent.

 

[Duff Man]

Another DFW Buff!

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Who from CU’s staff has the connection?

Ski Buffs!

Is he a Super G or Downhill guy? **** it, he's ours!

[BuffsNYC]

How does this happen without a DC?

Who from CU’s staff has the connection?

No idea on anything old. After entering the portal his first CU follower was Andy Wang and then Karl Dorrell

 

[Bear Fiend]

redshirt candidate.

There's your answer...Karl Dorrell personally recruited Barnes.

Ok. I liked D. Rakestraw... but this swap ... completely works for me. Great pick up, KD!!!

 

[patebuff]

Will be interesting to see where he ends up on defense.

Also, MSU and Tucker were after him hard. Nice

 

[Buffnik]

Great pickup

 

[BuffLuke80]

Big pick up.

That program is a machine, not just in Texas, pretty much anywhere. Welcome Mr. Barnes.

 

[CULifer]

I'm am quite okay with our safety room for the next couple years. Welcome to the Buffs!

He is listed as Linebacker on Oklahoma website. Started against Baylor. Looks like a good pickup. I like this transfer portal.

He switched to LB last season from S but has played time at both.

 

[BuffsNYC]

This makes it seem like he would play "star". I mean if we have an equivalent position with a new DC.

TE burned the defense last season. He will be an asset in pass coverage.
