Barnes can play on the edge or at the second level but projects as a true defensive end in college and is one of the top pure edge prospects across the state that is stout against the run and pass. He has the frame and size to continue packing on weight and excels with his hand in the dirt while using his athleticism and sudden power to win at the point of attack. He shows a variety of power rush moves when bending the edge and collapses the pocket quickly while able to make plays behind the line and take on blockers to set the edge. He is a very balanced defensive end prospect against the pass and in the run game and a excellent open field tackler with good movement abilities in space that closes quickly. He is a no-brainer FBS/FCS range prospect with a high floor entering the next level.
