Three high school soccer players signed letters of intent to play at Kansas University, coach Mark Francis announced Thursday.

Forward Ashley Williams, defender Kaley Smith and forward Courtney Dickerson will join the Jayhawks next fall.

Williams, an Albuquerque, N.M. native, was the New Mexico state player of the year this past season.

“I think all three of the players can come in and contribute right away and challenge to start,” Francis said.
