A Fresno, California native, the 6-foot-2-inch, 185-pound Barnes appeared in two games in each of the last two seasons after playing in eight during the 2019 season. Barnes had one tackle in 2021, against Arizona State.
He's the third player from the Pac-12 to join the Rainbow Warriors this offseason, along with cornerback Jojo Forest (Oregon State) and quarterback Cammon Cooper (Washington State).Β
