It might just be easier to list the positions that Kyron Johnson hasn’t played.
The Kansas junior has tried on many hats during his football career at both the collegiate and high school level. Last season, Johnson mostly played outside linebacker for the Jayhawks during a 3-9 campaign. Johnson has even played defensive end and nickel back at times.
His latest venture will be inside linebacker, a position ...
Year 1 of the Les Miles era at KU is 22 days away, and it is still quite uncertain how the 2019 campaign will unfold. Miles has a history of winning at both LSU and Oklahoma State. KU, meanwhile, has not won more than three games since 2009.

It was expected, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it was easy to see.
For the ninth year in a row, the Kansas football team was picked to finish last in the Big 12 conference in the preseason poll as voted on by media members. Most KU seniors were in junior high the last time the program didn’t have such lowly expectations entering a year.
