In the 2024 season, Barnes finished a four-year Duquesne run with 197 career tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, seven pass breakups, two interceptions, a forced fumble and a sack, while starting 31 games and appearing in 44 overall. He earned a reputation as a high-volume, reliable DB who showed up every week, including a career-high 14 tackles against Mercyhurst in 2024 and 22 straight games with multiple tackles to end his career.
