Episode Details

Kansas Jayhawks strengthen the defensive line with Eamon Smalls’ commitment from UAB. Can Smalls’ run-stopping presence and experience anchor KU’s defense for a breakout season in the Big 12?

Derek Johnson breaks down what makes Eamon Smalls a game-changer for the Jayhawks, from his 310-pound frame to leading all Kansas defensive linemen with impressive stop numbers. Key topics include how Smalls compares with Blake Herold, Jibril Conde, Marcus Calvin and freshman Josiah Hammond, KU’s evolving rotation under coach Jim Panagos, and what Smalls’ addition means for the team’s run defense and depth. Plus, hear speculation on Smalls’ immediate role—starter or impact rotation piece—as Kansas continues to rebuild in the transfer portal.

Get all the insights on why KU fans should be excited about this big addition to their defensive tackle room.
