Landon Barnes is a high-upside Ole Miss freshman edge with instant buzz
In the 2026 season, Landon Barnes arrives at Ole Miss as a consensus four-star edge rusher who enrolled early and drew spring-camp rave reviews for his size, strength, and twitchy pass-rush upside. He’s built like a tough fit at 6-foot-3 to 6-foot-4 and about 245-250 pounds, and his high-school production at Duncanville showed real disruptive juice: 10.5 sacks, 23.5 tackles for loss, and 25 quarterback hits in 2025. The differentiator here is ceiling-plus-motor—he looks like a future rotational problem for tackles, not just a recruiting star on paper.
