Notebook: Jayhawks participate in unusual Senior Night; KU also tweaks starting offensive line

Fitting for 2020, the Kansas football team’s Senior Night looked a little out of the ordinary on Saturday, prior to the kickoff versus TCU at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium. Typically, every senior on the roster partakes in the annual tradition, gathering with family members and loved ones on the field during a ceremony before the team’s final home game of the season.

KU’s head coach, while discussing some of this year’s seniors on his “Hawk Talk” radio show on Wednesday evening, identified receivers Stephon Robinson Jr. and Andrew Parchment as players the staff would want to invite back for the 2021 ...
