Meldon Barnes brings veteran linebacker instincts and playmaking range to Tulane
Barnes profiles as a smart, physical linebacker who can read plays quickly, get downhill, and create turnovers when the ball comes his way. In Tulane’s roster history, he is listed at 5-11 and 193 pounds, and his earlier Tulane seasons showed production and disruption, including 49 tackles and two interceptions in 1999, plus a 21-tackle game against Houston that earned Conference USA Defensive Player of the Week honors. That kind of instincts-first, high-effort profile is valuable if you want a reliable communicator and tone-setter in the middle of a defense.[1]
