Episode Details

Dylan Edwards poised for a breakout season in the Andy Kotelnicki offense—can his explosive speed transform Kansas Jayhawks football in 2026? Derek Johnson analyzes Edwards’ high-ceiling potential, projecting 12–18 touches per game and over 600 rushing yards, while questioning how KU will maximize his unique skills in goal-line and open-field scenarios. Usage patterns from past seasons, possible receiving upside, and what Edwards’ emergence means for the backfield rotation take center stage.

Johnson also previews KU’s revamped linebacker room, spotlighting Trey Lathan’s rise and the fierce competition between Bam Crouch and Quincy Davis. Topics include the group’s coverage abilities, concerns about run defense, and the impact of new transfer additions. Updates on Trayvon McAlpine’s injury status and its implications for the defensive front, plus John Riggins’ jersey retirement and KU volleyball’s marquee matchups, round out a jam-packed KU Football Friday episode.
