Minnesota Offers Newton’s Darwin Barlow

Minnesota has been making the East Texas round of late.

Darwin Barlow is the latest prospect to receive an offer from the Gophers. The 2019 running back from Newton posted the offer via Twitter on Friday morning.

Barlow also holds offers from schools such as Arkansas, Baylor and Oklahoma State.

He was an integral part of Newton's trip to becoming the Class 3A Division II state champions in December. He had 138 yards rushing and a touchdown as the Eagles defeated Gunter, 40-16. He finished 2017 with 38 rushing touchdowns to lead all of East Texas and rushed for 2,246 yards.

Minnesota competes in the Big 10 Conference. The Gophers finished the 2017-18 season with a record of 5-7.

Barlow, like all juniors, can sign with any team that offers him beginning in December 2018.
