At 4.8 where is he projected to play?

[Hawgzinbowlz]

Welcome to "The Hill" Mr. Barnes.

" GO HOGS "

[Oklahawg]

At 4.8 where is he projected to play?

Watch the videos. Kid is running away from every defender. The bottom video has #7 on defense 2-3 yards downfield but on an angle and Barnes runs by him like #7 is standing still.

Great wheels, great pickup.

[hvsupastar]

He will he a steal when it's all said and done.  Just a really good football player

[BigSexyHog]

Don't know anything about the kid but looks like a good kid.   Welcome to the hogs!

[TheRazorback500]

Cool!  Woopig!

:razorback:

[20hog11]

Not sure where the 4.8 is coming from, but RD said that he runs a 4.52.

Edit: I see the 4.8 in the HUDL link. Wonder if that's old info:

Thanks RD, congrats on the surprise commit on your show.
You see him like a tj Hammonds kind of kid on offense. Or a Ryan Pulley kind of kid on defense?

[secneahog]

At 4.8 where is he projected to play?

He's not a 4.8 in the HUDL video. That is for sure.

[BentonvilleJeff]

Glad he's a Hog! Love Arkansas kids.

The 4.8 was ran last year at a Nike camp. The 4.5 RD mentions is handheld.

[The_Boot_stops_here]

Glad to have Barnes. Congrats to the young man. Would love to add Byers in the near future

[gmarv]

welcome mr. barnes. wps

[Hollywood_HOGan45]

Great news. Hope he can play corner.

[3kgthog]

I'd say that 4.8 isn't translating to the field. He's faster than that in pads. You'd be able to instantly tell on tape if he were a legit 4.8 guy.

[IronMountainHog]

Love the enthusiasm of an Arkansas kid who commits early and is all in. He is the anti KJ Hill type who is all drama and me, me, me. Welcome aboard.

[ricepig]

The 4.8 was ran last year at a Nike camp. The 4.5 RD mentions is handheld.

So, it sounds like he got faster last year, he's most definitely fast enough for SEC play, I'm more concerned on his size.

[Razorpigg]

Same size as Kristian Fulton. For any of the positions he would play he will be plenty big enough, whether it be the slot or CB.

[Polecat]

Cabot is a really good Ark HS football program. I wonder who was the last scholarship Razorback to come from there?

1" and depending on which site you choose to listen to no more than 10 pounds.  I believe he will be ok.

[DeltaBoy]

Good looking young man.  He knows how to tote the rock.

[ricepig]

Truthfully, if Fulton was playing at 177lbs, I'd be worried too. I'd be happier with him here, but I'd still be concerned against bigger WR's.

Ray Strazinski, OL from 1989

1990 Ray Straschinske - OL

[Panthog]

According to Jarrod's twitter he will be playing the slot receiver and will also be tried as a kickoff and punt returner. Many compare him to Joe Adams and that is probably an accurate comparison even though Jarrod plays QB in high school. Great athlete. I have seen him in Cabot's basketball games and he can jump out of the gym.

Don't watch the other players, watch the field. For all you know, that defender runs a 7 second forty. However, the lines on the field are the same for the NFL as they are in Possum Belly Kentucky. How fast one player is to another player all depends on both player's speed. How fast one player is to the field is directly comparable.

Watching the hudl video, I would not say that he looks substantially faster than 4.8.

2016 or 17 commit.......limited viewing potential here..sorry.....

This. I covered this in the Cecil Langston thread.

A couple of things about Jarrod... he can get full speed real quick...he has very good athleticism....he is like Houdini, you can be a yard away and yet not even touch him... he will not wow you on a track or running a timed 40.

[LAHOG1962]

Compare Barnes's flying 40 time in pads from the long run against NLR against Alex Collins's flying 40 against LSU and tell me who is faster. Barnes can run very fast.

[RaisinHog]

Congrats !! I've been on a 10 day bant !! " got a lil caught up in jump ball the night of the Mississippi state game " and I come back not even a full page on the guy committed to us .. 97 pages about who we haven't offered go figure lol

He will have to redshirt. He needs a year in the weight room.

[Dropkick]

He is gonna be a favorite of mine after making monk his biotch.
