The Kansas football team will bring back its leading tackler and starting middle linebacker from the 2025 season after all. Trey Lathan announced on social media on Thursday that he is returning to KU, posting a highlight video from last year that concluded by declaring him “locked in.” Lathan had previously stated on Jan. 1 that he planned to enter the portal but by all accounts and according to multiple ...
