Considered “a beast” by Head Coach Garrett Hartwig, James Barnett James Barnett 6'2" | 250 lbs | DL/OL Iowa City West | 2028 State IA — the son of Iowa offensive line coach, George Barnett — will be in position to start at center for the Trojans this season. In addition to playing some defense, the middle school national champion shot-put thrower and top-three finisher at state as a freshman will have a chance to follow in the footsteps of Colin Whitters Colin Whitters 6'4" | 300 lbs | OL Iowa City West | 2026 State IA as the next great Iowa City West offensive lineman.

With the explosion required to be so prolific as a thrower, plus his genetic makeup and the opportunity to learn from Whitters again this season, Barnett is on an excellent trajectory toward playing football at the Power 4 level. As long as he continues to fill out his frame and work on his consistency snapping the ball, Barnett’s debut season on varsity should be a good one.
