Ron McGee was slated to arrive at Kansas as a senior when he first transferred to the school. That was in the summer of 2021, and McGee was a defensive tackle. Three years later, he is still in Lawrence and ready to play one more year of college football as a defensive end. “You never know how your journey’s going to start; it’s all about how you finish,” McGee told the Journal-World at KU's media day. ...
