      Just for everyone that keeps saying he isn’t on scholarship or asks if he is. Yes, he was a preferred walk-in (not on scholarship) to start. But he was awarded a scholarship after they saw value.

      Anyone judging him by last years Rose bowl, that’s….. questionable at best…
      He was tossed on there Kincaid-less, Kuithe-less without the prep against one of the best defenses in college football.

      I get he isn’t rising. But we’ve seen he can play. I like Barnes with all the prep focused on him.

      You seem to know what you are talking about, so I assume you are right. However, a Dnews article just last week said that he still wasn’t on a scholarship. (Seemed odd to me.) Their info may have been outdated and wrong.

        I see the problem.,, you believed the DNews.

        My guess would be that he took Costelli’s scholarship once it opened up

        Here’s one location it’s confirmed: 247 – before WSU game

        For Barnes, it’s his collegiate start. He was a walk-on in 2020 before earning a scholarship. He played in three games in 2021 and four contests in 2022.

        It’s still fine to call him ‘walk-on Bryson Barnes’ as that’s where he started. He wasn’t ranked in the 2020 recruiting class and had 2 offers: SUU and Western Illinois. Looks like his choice paid off.

      He’s ALWAYS going to be referred to as the former walk on and pig farmer from rural Utah.
