One of the biggest uncertainties of the Kansas football offseason — just like throughout last season — remains the status of quarterback Jalon Daniels. Daniels dealt with recurring tightness in his back beginning in early August and throughout the duration of the 2023 season. The malady caused him to miss all but three of KU's 13 games; he did not return after, immediately prior to the Jayhawks' game at ...
Updated 1:15 p.m. Wednesday: Kansas athletic director Travis Goff said in November that he wanted Lance Leipold to coach at Kansas "until the wheels fall off."
