Alex Barnes brought power, efficiency, and All-Big 12 production to Kansas State
In the 2018 season, Alex Barnes was Kansas State’s workhorse and a true hammer, rushing for 1,355 yards and 12 touchdowns on 256 carries while earning First Team All-Big 12 honors. He finished his K-State career ranked second in school history in yards per carry (5.71) and 100-yard rushing games (12), showing rare efficiency on heavy volume. Barnes also stood out as a powerful, high-end athletic tester with strong burst and elite strength at the NFL Combine, making him a fit for teams that value downhill, contact-balanced runners who can carry an offense when the game gets ugly.
