Out for spring practice
Barnes (ankle) is out for Oklahoma's spring practice, Jesse Crittenden of Rivals reports.
ANALYSIS
While the reason for Barnes' spring absence has not been publicly disclosed by Crittenden, it is likely attributed to the ankle injury that relatively ended his 2024 season early. At the very least and though he is far from being out of the woods, he has the 2025 Sooners' summer and fall practices to be 100 percent before regular-season action appears.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Barnes is the frontrunner for what could be the best backfield in the Big 12 Conference. He was fantastic in the team’s bowl game with a career-high 108 yards. The Sooners’ top back from 2022 was Eric Gray who led the conference with 6.41 yards per carry among running backs with at least 50 attempts. Barnes will attempt to repeat that performance in collaboration with Marcus Major and Gavin Sawchuk. Expect all three backs to see some action as Oklahoma likely won’t shy away from utilizing their unique depth at the position. At least one of these guys is going to rush for over 1,000 yards and Barnes is the best bet to do so.
