Takiesse Barnes Takiesse Barnes WR Pleasantville | 2027 NJ is a true hidden gem who is poised to generate serious buzz this offseason and into the 2026 season. From the first snap, his explosiveness jumps off the screen.

Barnes hits the hole with urgency, and once he gets into the open field, his speed becomes a real problem for defenses. More importantly, he pairs that burst with strong vision. He sees lanes develop before they fully open and consistently puts himself in a position to create chunk plays. While he is still developing as a polished runner, his raw athleticism already separates him from most defenders he faces.

In addition, Barnes impacts the game on the defensive side of the ball. As a safety, he plays downhill with confidence, delivers contact in the run game, and uses that same explosiveness to close space and make plays on the football. His two-way value only adds to his upside.

Because of that, Barnes is a player whose recruitment could rise quickly. Once college coaches turn on the film and see his burst, speed, and overall athletic profile, the interest will follow. With his current Division I offer from Wofford, Takiesse Barnes Takiesse Barnes WR Pleasantville | 2027 NJ is well-positioned to turn an underrated label into a full-fledged breakout year.
