Expert Analysis
Matt Tate | Prep Redzone Scout
Barnes stood up in a big way for Cherry Creek this past season. Once the injuries started to pile up, Barnes was thrust into a prominent position on defense. Taking advantage of each opportunity, he had. The 5’11 190-pound sophomore linebacker had 77 total tackles (28 solo, 49 assisted), 3 TFL, and 2 sacks. Barnes has good athletic ability due to very good lateral quickness, change of direction, good speed, and acceleration. Good read and reaction speed. Good timing on PBUs. Barnes has very good strength and very good tackling. He wraps the ball carrier and throws them to the turf with ease. Very good block shedding. Rushes the gap and gets the tackle for loss. Barnes has relentless pursuit, and doesn’t stop till the ball carrier is in his grasp. Good pass coverage skills as well. He is just getting started.
