Star freshmen Darryn Peterson at Kansas, Cameron Boozer at Duke declare for NBA draft

Kansas freshman Darryn Peterson has declared for the NBA draft, a move that had been expected ever since his arrival on campus
APRIL 24 • Associated Press
Chase Jenkins - Competing for starting QB gig Jenkins is competing for Kansas' starting quarterback job alongside Cole Ballard and Isaiah Marshall, per 247Sports.com.
Impact Jenkins is considered to be holding up the rear of this competition behind the two Kansas returnees. The Rice transfer was limited this spring with an injury, which certainly didn't help him make up any ground. Last fall with the Owls, he tossed for 1,025 yards, nine touchdowns and two interceptions while rushing for 531 yards and five scores.
APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE
Isaiah Marshall - Battling for starting quarterback Marshall is battling Cole Ballard and Chase Jenkins to be Kansas' starting quarterback, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Jalon Daniels can no longer be Kansas' starting quarterback because his collegiate eligibility is maximized, so Marshall is competing with two others for the QB1 honor. While he lacks experience compared to Ballard and Jenkins, Marshall may possess better potential as a dual-threat QB. After all, 2025 saw him log 15 rushing attempts for 160 yards, 10.7 averaged per carry.
APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE
Cole Ballard - Battling Marshall, Jenkins for QB1 Ballard is battling Isaiah Marshall and Chase Jenkins for the QB1 gig, per 247Sports.
Impact Ballard has spent the past three seasons as a backup at Kansas. Last fall, he tossed for 108 yards on 10-of-22 passing while rushing for 92 yards on 15 carries. He's gotten involved, albeit minimally, in all three seasons at Kansas. His competition features a transfer from Rice in Jenkins and a home-grown gunslinger in Marshall. Ballard and Marshall appear to be the top two options at the moment, however.
APRIL 24 • ROTOWIRE
Yasin Willis - Practicing this spring Willis (concussion) is practicing with the Jayhawks this spring, per KUSports.com.
Impact Willis, the Syracuse transfer who amassed 558 rushing yards and four touchdowns last year, is healthy after he missed the final two games of the season for the Orange. That's big-time for Kansas, as he's expected to be the No. 2 halfback behind Kansas State transfer Dylan Edwards.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Jaden Nickens - Practicing this spring Nickens (undisclosed) is practicing with Kansas this spring, per KUSports.com.
Impact Nickens didn't play in his freshman season with Kansas, but the 6-foot-3 wideout appears to be over his ailment and in the process of making a name for himself in spring ball.
APRIL 13 • ROTOWIRE
Carson Bruhn - Practicing in spring ball Bruhn (foot) is partaking in Kansas' spring practice period, per KUSports.com.
Impact Bruhn missed the final four games of the 2025 season last year in his redshirt freshman campaign. The tight end, who caught five passes for 55 yards before his foot injury, is now fully healthy and will look to make a bigger impact in his third season with the Jayhawks.

Jalen Dupree - Sitting out spring after surgery Dupree isn't partaking in Kansas' spring practice after undergoing surgery this offseason, per Matt Tait of the Perpetual Sports Network.
Impact Dupree underwent an undisclosed surgery this offseason after his second season at Colorado State. The tailback had a productive year with the Rams in 2025, rushing for 508 yards and two scores while catching 12 passes for 83 yards. He elected to take his talents to Kansas, but is now slightly behind in acclimating to the Jayhawks offense as he's set to miss the entirety of spring ball.

JANUARY 21 • ARROWHEADADDICT.COM
Chase Jenkins - Committed to transfer to Kansas Jenkins has committed to transfer to Kansas, Dan Morrison of On3.com reports.
Impact Jenkins will transfer colleges from Rice to Kansas. During the quarterback's 2025 season, he logged 119 completed passes on a 67.2 completion percentage, 1,025 passing yards and nine touchdowns. The dual-threat QB also recorded five rushing TDs. Considering that Kansas' team needs a new QB1 in place of Jalon Daniels (senior), Jenkins has at least an adequate chance to remain starting quarterback but for the more well-known Jayhawks.
JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE
Dylan Edwards - Commits to Kansas Edwards has committed to Kansas, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact Switching from Kansas State to Kansas is a bold move for Edwards, but it looks like the running back will test his luck in what will be his third Power Conference after both KSU and Colorado, Pac-12 when he was enrolled there but coincidentally also Big 12 now. In 2024, Edwards logged 546 rushing yards, 7.4 yards per carry and five touchdowns. Despite redshirting 2025, he still recorded 205 rushing yards, 6.0 yards per carry and two TDs. Even with a limited output, Edwards looks to be locked for a big role in the Kansas backfield.

Nahzae Cox - Commits to Kansas Cox has committed to Kansas, Michael Swain of 247Sports.com reports.
Impact For colleges recently visited, Kansas is Cox's third, after Maryland and Michigan State. Currently on his weekend visit to KU, he agreed to transfer there from Middle Tennessee State. For the 2025 Blue Raiders, Cox logged 473 receiving yards and five touchdowns.

Jailen Butler - Headed to Kansas Butler will transfer to Kansas, per Michael Swain of 247Sports.com.
Impact Butler caught nine passes for 59 yards and one touchdown with Old Dominion in 2025, and will now get a shot at the Power Four level with what appears to be one season of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-4, 245-pound tight end will look to immediately compete for playing time with the Jayhawks.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Martin Connington - Signs with Kansas Connington has committed to Kansas, he announced on his personal X account.
Impact Connington entered the portal after making 12 of his 16 field goal attempts at Michigan State during the 2025 campaign. He should slot in as Kansas' starting kicker.
JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE
Nik McMillan - Heading to Lawrence McMillan announced his committment to play for Kansas for the 2026 season via his X account Thursday.
Impact McMillan will join the Jayhawks following three seasons with Buffalo. The 6-foot-1 receiver had a breakout season with the Bulls in 2025, catching 62 passes for 981 yards and three touchdowns across 12 games. He will retain a single year of eligibility with Kansas.
JANUARY 8 • ROTOWIRE
Yasin Willis - Signs with Kansas Willis has signed with Kansas, Matt Zenitz of CBS Sports reports.
Impact It looks like Kansas' football program is preparing to replace its top-two running backs, seniors Daniel Hishaw and Leshon Williams, with Jalen Dupree and Willis. During the Syracuse team's 2025 season, he logged 558 rushing yards and four touchdowns across fewer than 10 games. For 2025, Willis did not play Syracuse's last two, so his next objective is to recover.
JANUARY 7 • ROTOWIRE
Jalen Dupree - Latches on with Kansas Dupree has committed to Kansas, Kansas Sports Central reports.
Impact Dupree will join the Jayhawks after two seasons with Colorado State. He appeared in nine games during 2025, rushing 102 times for 508 yards and two touchdowns. He added 12 receptions for 83 yards.
