Today is the first day that mid-year transfers and JUCO's can sign NLI's, and the University of Toledo signed two very talented players in LB Jordan Barnes and TE Colby Kratch.
Jordan Barnes signed with Oklahoma State, after originally giving an oral commitment to Michigan and then deciding to switch to Oklahoma State, in the 2009 recruiting class. The Fort Wayne, IN native was a three star recruit and ranked the 28th best prospect in the country at his position. He signed with Oklahoma State over offers from Alabama, Indiana, Illinois, Louisville, Michigan, Northwestern, Oregon, Purdue, and Wisconsin.
Barnes (6-0, 243, 4.5) redshirted at Oklahoma State in 2009 and then transferred to Western Oklahoma to finish an Associate's degree. He will have three years of eligibility remaining and he will be eligible to play right away in 2011, beginning with spring practices. His father played football for Purdue and then the Detroit Lions in the NFL.
Colby Kratch is a 6-4, 245 pound tight end that played his JUCO ball at North Dakota State College of Science. He had 10 receptions for 99 yards this past fall. He has three years to play two (two years of eligibility remaining) at the University of Toledo. He will also be available for spring practices.
