Depends. Did he know coach prime ain’t hard to find

Was Colorado in on this guy?

No, but I, for one, don't care. He'll be the fastest guy we have in the secondary.

1. The recruitment of Barnes seemingly came out of nowhere, as despite a big senior season he seemingly has stayed under the radar. The Bottom line is you will not find very guys that are 6-2 that put up the numbers Barnes did.

2. The other thing that jumps out about the commitment of Barnes is his track numbers. Matt Rhule has been big at adding track speed to his football team. Barnes runs 21.49 seconds in the 200-meter dash and 10.69 seconds in the 100-meter dash.

4. As a senior, Barnes jumped off the state sheet for Regis Jesuit. Barnes had 37 catches for 785 yards and nine touchdowns. He led his team in both receiving yards and touchdowns. On defense, he had 55 total tackles, six interceptions, eight pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

I think there's one thing we can say with certainty......in a few years Nebraska will not be the slowest team on the field very often, if ever. They basically put together a 4x400 and 4x100 team this year. Hopefully they can be developed into good football players.

D'Andre Barnes commit: What does it mean for Nebraska?​

Sean Callahan • about 10 hours

The Nebraska football team added one more recruit to it’s 2023 signing class. Aurora (Colorado) Regis Jesuit defensive back D’Andre Barnes committed to the Huskers after an official visit to Lincoln this past weekend.

Here’s more on the commitment of Barnes and what it means for Nebraska.

1. The recruitment of Barnes seemingly came out of nowhere, as despite a big senior season he seemingly has stayed under the radar. The Bottom line is you will not find very guys that are 6-2 that put up the numbers Barnes did.

2. The other thing that jumps out about the commitment of Barnes is his track numbers. Matt Rhule has been big at adding track speed to his football team. Barnes runs 21.49 seconds in the 200-meter dash and 10.69 seconds in the 100-meter dash.

3. Barnes comes from the same high school as former Husker linebacker commit Hayden Moore. Rhule and the new NU staff kept recruiting Moore, but he eventually signed with Michigan. One thing that hurt the Huskers with Moore is they didn’t publicly have a linebackers coach in place until after signing day and it took a couple of weeks to get defensive coordinator Tony White hired.

4. As a senior, Barnes jumped off the state sheet for Regis Jesuit. Barnes had 37 catches for 785 yards and nine touchdowns. He led his team in both receiving yards and touchdowns. On defense, he had 55 total tackles, six interceptions, eight pass breakups and two forced fumbles.

5. It will be interesting to see where Barnes projects at Nebraska, but with his size, speed and athletic ability, he appears to be a potential lockdown corner.

6. The commitment of Barnes now gives NU five defensive backs in its class of 2023. The Huskers are also now closing in on 40 scholarship additions for 2023 and 105 total players slated to be on scholarship.

7. Nebraska now has 13 states represented in its 2023 recruiting class. Barnes becomes the first 2023 recruit from the state of Colorado.

Regis Jesuit’s D’Andre Barnes, whose recruiting stock rose late, signs with Nebraska after last-second push from Huskers​

Barnes took his official visit last Friday, a few days after Huskers OC Marcus Satterfield discovered him​

AURORA — D’Andre Barnes knew he was a Power 5 player on tape. He was just waiting for somebody to press play.

And at the last moment, the University of Nebraska did.

“I knew there would be an opportunity somewhere late in the process, to be where I belonged,” Barnes said. “I knew I had to be patient, and it was hard at times to do that, but I believed that Power 5 chance would come.”

The Regis Jesuit senior signed a national letter of intent to play for the Huskers on Wednesday after Nebraska swooped in to recruit him last week.

Barnes took his official visit last Friday, a few days after Nebraska offensive coordinator/recruiter Marcus Satterfield discovered him during an impromptu visit with Raiders coach Danny Filleman.

“(Satterfield) happened to be in the area visiting other schools (on Jan. 23), called me, and I told him to come by,” Filleman said. “We started talking in the weight room, and I asked him how he was doing on his 2023 commits.

He told me, ‘We’re pretty much full, but we might be looking for one guy, maybe like a DB, but it’s got to be the right fit.’ I said you need to look at D’Andre.”

That’s when the two turned on Barnes’ film.

Satterfield only needed to watch five plays on Filleman’s laptop before he was on the phone with Nebraska secondary coach Evan Cooper, and then head coach Matt Rhule, as they scrambled to scout the under-the-radar receiver/defensive back/returner and put together a recruiting plan.

Minutes later, Filleman pulled Barnes out of yoga class to meet Satterfield. Then Barnes’ parents scrambled to meet with Satterfield later in the evening in a whirlwind day Filleman described as “one of the crazier (recruiting roller coasters) I’ve been through in 26 years coaching.”

Barnes was doing the “sitting tree” pose when his teacher tapped on his shoulder to get out of class. Filleman and Satterfield were standing there at the door. Barnes’ patient wait was over.

“I’ll remember that day, and that moment, forever,” Barnes said.

Barnes wasn’t listed in the top 25 of Colorado’s recruits by 247Sports as recently as December.

But his stock shot up late, and he checked in as the state’s No. 10 overall prospect in the class on Wednesday, a few days after Nebraska officially offered.

Barnes also had offers from Air Force, Wyoming, Nevada, Bowling Green, plus another late offer from BYU. But he went largely under-recruited on the Power 5 scene because he didn’t have a lot of film on the defensive side.

Barnes only started playing safety full-time as a senior; in his first couple of varsity seasons, he was mostly a receiver and returner.

“He fell through the cracks for a variety of reasons, but there’s a reason why he didn’t sign early,” Filleman said. “Satterfield and I were just texting over the weekend, and he said D’Andre is one (the new Nebraska staff) is going to be talking about for a long time. Like, ‘Hey, look how we got this guy.'”

Barnes’ instant appeal on film — and why the Huskers were so quick to jump on him — is his speed and athleticism.

The 6-foot-1, 175-pounder was the 2021 Class 5A state champion in the 200 meters, and runs a 10.69-second 100-meter dash. That speed translates to the football field. As a senior, Barnes had a pick-six and a kickoff return TD in addition to 37 catches for 785 yards and nine TDs, including one catch that went 97 yards.

The 17-year-old projects as a high safety in the Blackshirts defense, but could also play cornerback and the Huskers haven’t ruled out using him on offense, too.

“It’s hard to coach that type of speed,” Filleman said. “He’s got the length to him and a lot of the physical tools.”

Barnes was one of four Raiders signing Wednesday in Aurora. Quarterback Exander Carroll and receiver Dylan McCollough are both headed to Colorado Mesa, while cornerback Josh Harvey signed with Emporia State.

Plus, the Raiders recognized tight end Andrew Metzger (Kansas State) and outside linebacker Hayden Moore (Michigan), a couple All-Colorado seniors who already signed during the early signing period in December.

“These guys raised the bar for this program,” Filleman said.
