Daniel Hishaw Jr. is certain he's scored more dazzling touchdowns while in high school or in youth leagues. But the redshirt sophomore running back's 73-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter of Kansas' 35-27 win over Duke on Saturday at David Booth Kansas Memorial Stadium ranks among his best while with the Jayhawks. Hishaw caught a pass from junior quarterback Jalon Daniels in the left flat and turned ...
The excitement surrounding the Kansas football team is unlike anything Taiwan Berryhill Jr. has experienced. Berryhill, a junior linebacker from New Orleans, was a freshman in 2020 when the Jayhawks went 0-9. There wasn't much to celebrate last season, either, when they went 2-10 under first-year coach Lance Leipold. But amid their first 3-0 start in 13 years, Berryhill and the Jayhawks will return to David ...
HOUSTON — The jubilation and exhilaration wafting through the visitors' locker room reverberated 40 yards down a cinder block hallway and could not be contained. Amid the shouts of "we did it!" and a wave of excitement and congratulations, an unlatched door flew open as Earl Bostick Jr. banged on it, forcing Kansas sixth-year senior left tackle to pause his celebration long enough to say he was sorry and ...

In past years, a 14-0 deficit after 10 minutes would have likely been enough to cause the Kansas football team to capitulate. Instead, the Jayhawks mustered the toughness, resilience and points needed to bounce back from that early hole — and then hold on again late — to win 55-42 at West Virginia a week ago. "A year ago, some of those would have gotten away from us at halftime — by halftime," coach ...
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Kansas relied on its rushing attack often in Saturday's 55-42 overtime win at West Virginia, but it looked a bit different than it did in its season opener. Quarterback Jalon Daniels carried the ball a team-high 12 times for a career-high 85 yards to lead the Jayhawks in rushing for the first time. Kansas gained 297 yards on the ground in the season-opening win against Football ...
