PRIORITY: Kansas Football Needs to KEEP Leroy Harris, Dak Brinkley & Trey Lathan | Offseason Primer
Episode 1150
Kansas Jayhawks face a pivotal offseason: can retaining stars like Leroy Harris III, Dak Brinkley, Trey Lathan, Amir Herring and Jalen Todd spark a bowl game return in 2026? Lance Leipold’s squad must navigate key roster decisions and prioritize investments, especially at defensive end, offensive tackle, and running back, to maximize its Big 12 potential.
Derek Johnson breaks down KU Football’s must-keep players, the emerging quarterback competition between Cole Ballard, Isaiah Marshall, and David McComb, and the urgency to secure impact transfers. With analysis on defensive line upgrades, and the search for explosive running backs, the episode explores whether Kansas can build its best defense yet—and if strategic portal moves will be enough to overcome depth concerns and unlock the Jayhawks’ next breakthrough season. Will donor support and shrewd roster moves put Kansas back in bowl contention?
