steady senior guard bringing scoring pop and late-game poise to Ball State
In the 2025-26 season, Devon Barnes has been a reliable two-way senior for Ball State, averaging 9.1 points, 2.0 assists, 1.4 rebounds and 1.0 steals while starting 24 of 31 games.[1][2][12] The quick-hit value: he can score at the line, knock down timely threes, and handle pressure moments—he showed that in a 20-point game at Buffalo and by sealing a win over Ohio with late free throws.[13][15] At 6-foot-1, he looks like a fit if you want a seasoned, composed guard who competes hard and doesn’t shrink when the gym gets loud.[1][3]
