Transfer RB from Southern California Darwin Barlow provides North Carolina with a 220-pound back with outstanding burst and contact balance who was overlooked amidst a highly talented group at USC. As Carolina looks to get more physical on offense, Barlow is a one-cut back who can catch out of the backfield and is tough to bring down.
