Luke Barnett, a high three-star shooting guard in the 2026 class, has committed to Kansas, a source told Rivals.

The 6-foot-3 shooting guard out of Mater Dei (CA) ultimately chose the Jayhawks over Miami and UNLV, but also received offers from TCU, Santa Barbara, and others.

According to Rivals’ Top-150 Player Rankings, Barnett is ranked as the No. 113 overall prospect in the 2026 class. He’s also the No. 27 ranked shooting guard and the No. 13 overall player in California. 

He becomes KU’s fourth commitment in the 2026 class. He joins four-star PG Tay Kinney (No. 15 NATL), four-star PF Davion Adkins (No. 32 NATL), and four-star SF Trent Perry (No. 102 NATL).

Rivals National Recruiting Analyst Jamie Shaw evaluated Barnett this summer and had this to say about him:

Luke Barnett found his way with the Arizona Unity program this summer by making some big shots. The 6-foot-3 shooting guard knocked down just over 36 percent of his 6.7 threes attempted on Nike’s EYBL Circuit. He has good footwork and a quiet base, along with a lot of confidence and consistent release, no matter stepping into it or shooting off movement. He shot on volume and was a consistent scorer this summer.
