Michigan State has lost another player to the transfer portal. Wide receiver and cornerback Julian Barnett has entered his name in the transfer portal after receiving very little play time this year. He joins Marcel Lewis, Charles Willekes and Luke Fulton as players to put their name in the transfer portal this year.
Barnett was a 4-star prospect out of Belleville, MI. He was also the No. 57 player and No. 8 cornerback in the class of 2019. Barnett was switched to wide receiver upon his arrival on campus and saw sparse play time his freshman year. Barnett finished his freshman year with 13 receptions for 182 yards and two carries for 19 yards.
Barnett was then flipped back to cornerback this season, but barely saw the field. He was able to record three tackles over two games this season. Barnett slipped in the depth chart behind players like Chris Jackson and true freshman Angelo Grose.
Barnett could do what Connor Heyward did last year and test the waters and come back.
