Before Logan Brantley had even played in a game, and the same summer he had arrived on campus, linebackers coach Chris Simpson told reporters that Kansas would take as many players like him as it could get. After he redshirted during the 2023 season, playing just 16 snaps on kick coverage across two games, head coach Lance Leipold mentioned Brantley as a player standing out in practice ahead of the Guaranteed ...
