In Awe of Mack Brown, Running Back Darwin Barlow Came to UNC for Many Other Reasons
Posted May 14, 2024
A dream of sorts has come true for Darwin Barlow. A native of Newton, TX, Barlow grew up a Texas Longhorns fan and admirer of Mack Brown. Everyone in his family is still big Brown and Texas fans. So, when Barlow entered the transfer portal after three years at Southern Cal, UNC reached out. Barlow visited and, not long after, committed to play for Brown.
