Who is Alonza Barnett?

We talk with Darryl Brown, the head coach at Grimsley High School and Alonza Barnett’s head coach for two years. Barnett is in the middle of one of the most contested QB battles in a while at JMU and we thought talking with his high school coach could provide some insight. Barnett is battling with Jordan McCloud, a Pac-12 transfer, for the QB1 spot in the upcoming 2023 JMU Football season.
