*Barnes is the first Oklahoma commitment from Southlake (Texas) Carroll since former Sooner star kicker Garrett Hartley in the class of 2004. In that time somewhat surprisingly Oklahoma has only offered Hartley, Barnes and eventual Texas commitments Obi Eboh and Adam Ulatoski.
*He is the first son of a Sooner player to commit to Oklahoma since Jordan Evans from Norman (Okla.) North in the class of 2013.
*Barnes, as the nation's No. 136 overall player is the most highly rated safety Oklahoma has signed from the state of Texas since Kevin Brent from Dallas South Oak Cliff in 2009.
*He is the highest rated commitment Oklahoma has landed from one of their satellite camps other than fellow 2017 Dallas area commitment Chris Robison.
*Aside from Robison and current Sooner offensive tackle Bobby Evans Barnes is the earliest commitment in memory.
I'm going to track down some more but those were the ones I found most interesting at first glance.
