Barnes is a 6-2, 178, Freshman corner from Edison HS, Fresno, CA. An early signee, last year Barnes had 35 tackles (2 for a loss) and 28 pass deflections as well as returning 19 punts with a 34.6 average return. Another tall corner is joining the team, but with the depth of the position Barnes is likely a redshirt this year (but, hey, we may get to see him in 4 games).
39 is the number of tackles Tony Fields assisted in to lead the team. He also had 65 unassisted tackles (2nd behind Schooler's 69) and 104 total tackles also a team high.
