The 2024 Kansas football team fought through three ranked foes just to earn the chance to play for a postseason berth on Thanksgiving weekend. It didn’t take advantage of that opportunity and finished the year on a down note at 5-7. The 2025 Jayhawks, who enter Friday’s battle with No. 13 Utah at 5-6, will need their first ranked win and by far their most impressive victory of the year — their three ...
Las Vegas — Kansas guard Elmarko Jackson had never scored more than 12 points in a game prior to Wednesday. He had 17 total points through seven games of the 2025-26 season game prior to Wednesday.

The Jayhawks bounced back after a pair of demoralizing losses in Utah and concluded their road slate for the regular season. KU (21-10, 12-5 Big 12), which entered the match 14th in RPI to ISU’s No. 20, is looking to ...

When Tyler Betsey connected from deep with six minutes remaining to cut KU’s lead to 52-50, it brought the Orange the closest they had been since the opening minutes — and the Jayhawks had nothing going on offense. Then Tre White made something out of nothing. The senior transfer ...
Las Vegas — Redshirt sophomore guard Jamari McDowell has made key contributions to Kansas in the past, but they’ve generally taken the form of extended cameos. McDowell was only three games into his college career when he stepped in late to lock down Kentucky’s fifth-year guard Antonio Reeves and drain the clinching free throws at the Champions Classic in November 2023; three more games after that, he ...
Former Kansas defensive tackle recruit Lucas Smalls-Allen announced on Monday that he will instead attend Wake Forest. The move came just nine days prior to the start of the early signing period and leaves the Jayhawks with one interior defensive lineman, Na’kwaine Carter, in their 2026 class. That class is down to 18 recruits with the loss of Smalls-Allen. Smalls-Allen is a three-star prospect from Blessed ...
