He helped design and implement strength and conditioning programs for student-athletes in conjunction to working with the sports performance and medical staff to enhance individual and team potential.

In his first two seasons, he was a key pitcher on a staff that won a National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Division II national title among two national championship game appearances. After earning his associate degree, he went on to pitch with the Cowboys, earning Big 12 Honor Roll and OSU Athlete Academic Excellence awards in both seasons.

Barnett earned his bachelor’s degree in education in 2014 and a master’s degree in exercise science in 2016 - both from Oklahoma State.
