Get to know the new Wildcat DB

The Arizona Wildcats signed 2018 three-star cornerback McKenzie Barnes on Wednesday, warding off the UCLA Bruins who made a late offer.

Here is some info on Arizona’s lengthy defensive back.

---

High School: Edison High School

Hometown: Fresno, California

247Sport Ranking: National - 1,440th; Position - 129th

My Thoughts: Barnes is the type of cornerback that Arizona needs. He is tall and rangy, using his long arms to disrupt the receiver and swat the ball away. His press man coverage skills are impressive and he is deceptively fast. He will need to add more weight to his frame.
