Reliable Senior Kicker with 96% Extra Point Accuracy and Resilient Return from Injury
Jacob Barnes, Tulane's senior kicker, delivered a steady 2024 season with 24-for-25 extra points (96.0%) and 7-for-9 field goals (77.8%), totaling 45 points across 8 games[1][2]. His standout differentiator is resilience: after missing two weeks due to an undisclosed injury, he returned immediately to make all three extra-point attempts against UAB, showing high intensity and mental toughness[3]. Barnes is a committed, data-driven performer who announced his 2024 commitment to Tulane before briefly entering the transfer portal, then recommitting—indicating strong team loyalty[3]. For teams seeking a reliable, battle-tested kicker with proven accuracy under pressure and a resilient mindset, Barnes is an excellent fit.
