Newton’s Darwin Barlow Offered By Missouri
Newton junior running back Darwin Barlow is inching closer to a double-digit number of Division I FBS scholarship offers.
Barlow (6-0, 200) announced via Twitter on Thursday morning that Missouri has offered.
In addition to the Tigers, Barlow holds eight other offers from Arkansas State, Baylor, Houston, Louisiana Tech, Oklahoma State, Southern Miss, TCU, and UTSA.
Missouri has also reached out to Pittsburg ATH Keontae Burns in East Texas' 2019 recruiting class.
Barlow can bench press 350 pounds, Newton head coach W.T. Johnston said. He finished the season with 2,246 rushing yards and 38 rushing touchdowns. He also had 172 yards receiving and caught three touchdowns.
He was instrumental in leading the Eagles to the Class 3A Division II state championship last month.
Missouri has spent the previous six seasons in the SEC after a run in the Big 12 of almost 20 years. The Tigers are coached by Barry Odom and went 7-6 overall in 2017.
Barlow, like all juniors, can first sign with any team that offers him in December 2018.
