Barnhart played collegiately at the University of Michigan (2019–23), appearing in 43 career games and making 31 starts. The two-time All-Big Ten selection started all 15 games across three different positions for the 2023 College Football Playoff National Champion Wolverines team. Barnhart played briefly with current Buccaneers starting left guard Ben Bredeson at Michigan in 2019. The Paw Paw, Michigan, native will wear No. 61 for Tampa Bay.
