We love a great underdog story. Who doesn’t? Someone comes from against all odds and defies everything logical. Many don’t give them hope, but they know something that we don’t.
Dante Barnett, remember this name. He’s a safety from Kansas State who was a consecutive three time team captain, one of six players in school history to accomplish this. After starting 27 straight games, Barnett suffered a season ending shoulder injury in the opener of his senior season. This also resulted in him staying for a fifth season.
Even though he missed almost an entire season due to injury, his talent and leadership skills are distinguished.
