As players depart from any football program, it leaves an opportunity for those who remain to make a change to the number they will wear.
Khalil Barnes, a standout freshman for the Tigers in the 2023 season, will no longer be wearing No.36. Barnes will now be wearing No.7, a clean switch for safety.
In 2023, veteran defensive end Justin Mascoll was wearing the No.7, but Mascoll has graduated and moved on from the program. With his departure, the Tigers’ freshman All-American in the secondary gets the number he was waiting for.
Barnes should be a key piece of the Tigers’ defense in 2024, with expectations that he will be even better with another year of experience.
