Lorenzo Barnes brings SEC-style size and upside to USF’s linebacker room
Barnes is a **6-foot-2, 210-pound** 2026 linebacker from Gadsden County High School who is already **committed and signed with South Florida**, giving the Bulls an early win on a physical, high-upside defender.[1][3] The appeal is his frame and fit: he projects as an outside linebacker who can grow into more strength and play downhill, making him the kind of prospect teams target for long-term development rather than instant stat production.[1][3]
