Episode Details

Kansas Jayhawks could see Yasin Willis emerge as their next 1,000-yard back in Andy Kotelnicki’s offense. Derek Johnson spotlights Willis’ potent blend of power, speed, and patience, drawing comparisons to Daniel Hishaw and Le’Veon Bell, while identifying potential questions around Willis’ health and limited receiving abilities. The running back room, featuring Dylan Edwards and Jalen Dupree, is praised as KU’s deepest and most explosive position group this season.

Switching to defense, Kansas’ revamped defensive tackle unit boasts disruptive playmakers like Blake Herold, Marcus Calvin, and transfer Tre'von McAlpine. Johnson breaks down key strengths—high tackle-for-loss potential and rotational depth—while also expressing concerns over run-stopping consistency and injury variables. Finally, Kansas’ status as one of the oldest teams in college football may give them a competitive edge; Johnson poses whether roster experience signals a path to another bowl game for the Jayhawks.
