Aiming to be the starting quarterback again after suffering injury-shortened season … Maintains sophomore athletic eligibility … Good match for the Scots’ Spread offense as a true dual threat with a strong arm and excellent mobility … Possesses good elusiveness when facing pressure in the pocket … 2011: Started at quarterback the first three games before enduring lower leg injury early in fourth quarter at Oberlin (Sept. 17) … Had combined for 577 yards of total offense to that point, passing for 467 on 52-of-100 completions and adding 110 on the ground … Scored a rushing touchdown in the Oberlin game, converting on a 4th-and-goal from the two-yard line … 2010: Voted NCAC Newcomer of the Year and received honorable mention on the all-conference team … Won the starting quarterback position in camp and took all but a handful of snaps during the season … Ranked second in the league in total offense at 235.5 yards per game … Completed a team-record 62.8 percent of his passes for 2,046 yards – the second-most in school history – and 14 touchdowns … Also squad’s second-leading rusher with 309 yards and six scores on the ground … Career highs of 320 passing yards and 353 of total offense came against Hiram (Oct. 30) … Rushed for career-best 75 yards against Oberlin (Sept. 18) … Threw three touchdown passes at Denison (Oct. 2) and ran for two in the Hiram game … Prior to Wooster: Twice a second-team all-district honoree, garnering the recognition at the athlete position as a senior and quarterback as a junior at Painesville Harvey High School … Personal: Born March 24, 1992 … Son of Richard and Regina Barnes … Majoring in philosophy.
