CFB Insider predicts James Franklin to return the 4 -star CB of Sherrone Moore from Michigan

Sherrone Moore has just beat James Franklin de Penn State to get the commitment of Dorian Barney this weekend. However, the race can still be launched, according to College Football Insider and the host of “Locked on Nittany Lions” Zach Seyko.

Seyko noted on Monday in his show that Penn State was looking to switch Barney from Michigan.

“Carter Meadows and Dorian Barney, they are in the same group because, well, they are engaged in Michigan, but two, Penn State was very high on their list,” said Seyko (Timetamp: 1:40). …

“Penn State made a very good push with Dorian Barney, but things have changed. Maybe there were zero factors with Michigan there. Barney is from Erie, Pennsylvania. … I wonder if this is the most likely player of Penn State that they are pursuing to return to this cycle.”

Barney announced his commitment to Michigan on Saturday, choosing the offers of Sherrone Moore on Penn State and Texas A&M. His commitment came after several visits to Ann Arbor since the start of this year.

The four -star corner half of Carrollton, in Georgia, was previously attached to Alabama. Subsequently, the AGGIES became the favorites to land it earlier in the year. However, Penn State tends to go to his recruitment a lot after his official visit in May.

Dorian Barney has already said that he could be adapted to the defense of Sherrone Moore in Michigan.

“I think I could adapt to this defense,” he told ON3 last month. “They lead a defense similar to us. Their practice is very detailed, just like us. We take very serious things here. I feel like I can settle there really, and I could come there and have an impact early in the first year.”

Moore and his staff did a good job to impress Barney when he visited Wolverines in the spring. With offers of better programs such as Ohio State, LSU, Georgia, Clemson, USC and Miami, the four -star cornerback was fascinated by the development of talents in Michigan.

“I never went to Michigan, so it was my first time,” he said. “… they send a lot of players to the league. … The development part, the relationship I have and just the atmosphere that I caught when I was up there.”

Barney is the n ° 20 perspective in the 2026 class, according to the classification of the ON3 industry.
