Georgetown’s elusive back from the program’s old school of tough runners
Matt Barnes is listed as a Georgetown football running back, but the reliable public record currently available does not show recent season stats or a current-year stat line for him, so there isn’t enough verified production data to call him a breakout or a proven starter. What does stand out is the role itself: Georgetown backs who succeed there usually have to be physical, assignment-sound, and willing to grind through contact, which means Barnes should be evaluated as much for toughness, ball security, and pass protection as for raw rushing totals. If your team wants a hard-nosed depth piece with upside, he’s worth a closer look.
