Slowly but surely, Utah State football’s rebuild under Bronco Mendenhall continues.
On Tuesday, that meant another addition through the NCAA transfer portal.
Utah State announced that former Nebraska safety D’Andre Barnes has transferred to USU ahead of the 2025 college football season.

Listed at 6-feet, 195 pounds, Barnes is the sixth transfer — out of eight — this spring to join the Aggies from a Power conference program.
A three-star recruit coming out of high school in 2022, with offers from BYU, Air Force, Wyoming and others, Barnes redshirted his freshman season in Lincoln and then in 2024 played in a single game, against UTEP.
