  Draft Scout by Conference









  As one of the new guys on the Colorado football team when he arrived in January, Robert Barnes knew he had to earn respect first. It didn't take long, however, for the transfer from Oklahoma to start speaking up and become a leader. "He came in as a grad transfer and really went to work right away, the first week and everybody was noticing, 'Who is this guy?'" head coach Karl Dorrell said. "No one really that was on the team last year really knew who he was, but I think he quickly has established respect and that leadership that he's brought just because of his work ethic. "He's always been vocal; he's always been very encouraging with his teammates. Those are all really great qualities of leaders who really understand how to pick guys up that need to be picked up and how to get on guys that need to pick it up. He's been a great addition for us."

A 6-foot-3, 230-pound linebacker, Barnes brings not only experience to CU's defense, but first-hand knowledge of what an elite team is supposed to look like. He played in 34 games - including 10 starts - over four seasons at Oklahoma. The Sooners went 45-8 with four Big 12 titles and three appearances in the College Football Playoff during Barnes' time there. "I just knew that I wanted to help with the culture shift," Barnes said of coming to CU. "That's one thing (defensive coordinator Chris) Wilson was telling me before I came here and I wanted to be a part of that." - Daily Camera
