He was a productive player in high school and had a promising senior season. According to statistics from MaxPreps.com, he was a key weapon for Regis Jesuit High School, catching 37 passes for 785 yards and nine touchdowns.

Now, he will have an opportunity to contribute to a program that went 4-8 in 2024. The Aggies have not had a winning season since 2021.

Nebraska football has seen several players enter the transfer portal and land on their feet. Barnes’ athleticism and speed could allow him to make an impact at Utah State.
