ll fight cuts if proposal makes it to floor for debate

An in-town lineman from Free State High, Spencer Roe on Friday announced his plans to join the Kansas football program.

A defensive tackle and offensive guard during his senior season at FSHS, Roe will join the Jayhawks as a walk-on.

The 6-foot-4, 270-pound lineman revealed his plans via Twitter.

Firebirds choosing their hometown college football team has become a trend the past several years. Roe will become the fifth Free State graduate on the KU roster, which already features recent FSHS standouts Bryce Torneden, Joe and Jay Dineen, and Keith Loneker Jr.
