Decorated QB Jake Heaps to visit KU

Charlie Weis laughs at the podium as he addresses media members during a news conference in which Weis was announced as the new football coach for KU on Friday, Dec. 9, 2011 at the Anderson Family Football Complex.

Jake Heaps, the No. 1-ranked pro-style quarterback in Rivals.com’s class of 2010, will visit Kansas University this weekend, Jayhawkslant.com is reporting.

The 6-foot-1, 200-pound quarterback from Issaquah, Wash., spent the last two seasons at BYU before requesting a transfer. He will have to sit out a year if he transfers to another FBS school.

Out of high school, Heaps was pursued by Notre Dame, which at the time was led by current KU coach Charlie Weis.
