Reid Kirby, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound offensive lineman from Oak Park (Mo.) High School, has given a verbal commitment to Mark Mangino’s KU football program. Kirby picked KU over Missouri, Tulsa and Colorado State.

Last week, Michael Pruitt, 6-2, 280 defensive lineman, from Northeastern Oklahoma A&M committed to KU.
