Newberry’s Daniel Stanley turning pro

Daniel Stanley
Former Newberry College golfer Daniel Stanley had the lead after three rounds at the S.C. Golf Association’s 80th Amateur Championship, but had to settle for a second place finish. The Inman native told the Beaufort Gazette it would be his final tournament before turning professional.
A PING Division II All-American in his senior season, Stanley fought through a tough front nine, and a double bogey on hole number nine made it a 41 on the way out, but an eagle on number 11 started the bounce back.
Former Gamecock lands at Newberry

Mark Barnes
Former USC safety and receiver Mark Barnes has enrolled at Newberry College and will report for practice August 9th. Newberry coach Todd Knight confirmed Saturday night that Barnes had completed all the necessary steps to get into school and join his program. Barnes, who has been out of school for two years, will be eligible immediately and will have at least two seasons to play for the Red Wolves. Knight said he will start Barnes out at safety.
Barnes was one of the country’s top rated prospects in 2006. He announced his commitment to USC following the Shrine Bowl in December of that year. His freshman season at USC was disrupted by a shoulder injury that required surgery. He did appear in three game as a receiver and caught three passes, one for a touchdown.
Barnes transferred to Florida A&M before the 2008 but did not stick with that program. He returned to Columbia where he was been working the past two years.
