He expects to play in Clemson’s secondary in college. Barnes has spent a great deal of time on the offensive side of the football.
Clemson’s relationships won him over.
“It was kind of a no-brainer,” Barnes told On3 after his decision. “When I first got the offer, I liked it. I wanted to take things slow. The consistency was there with them, even when they hadn’t offered, the relationships and the talks with the coaches were the same as when they did offer. It wasn’t like they showed any fake love or anything like that. I feel like I can trust every person in that building. It was pretty easy.”
