Early years

As a senior at Pittsburg in 2014, he rushed for 2,361 yards and 38 touchdowns.[1] He committed to play college football at Kansas State University, choosing them over the University of Minnesota, University of Kansas, and Rutgers University.[2]

As a redshirt freshman in 2016, Barnes broke out and rushed for 442 yards and six touchdowns on 56 carries in 11 games.[3]

He started all 13 of Kansas State's games and rushed for 819 yards and seven touchdowns on 146 carries[4] along with catching five passes for 29 yards and throwing a touchdown pass. However, Barnes suffered ankle pain throughout the season which limited his workload.[5]
