Todd hopes his interception will be first of many

Kansas cornerback Jalen Todd waited a long time for his first career interception. The junior, a Detroit native, has been playing frequently ever since he served as a nickel back and occasional reserve on the outside as a true freshman in 2024. He has spent each of the last two seasons as KU’s No. 1 corner, filing that role at quite a high level. But until Saturday, he had never picked off a pass — and in ...

KU coaches appreciate shoutout from Indiana's Cignetti

Kansas associate head coach Andy Kotelnicki has spoken in the past about combing through other teams’ film in search of new plays to add to his arsenal. “We are the greatest thieves in the country,” he said back in 2023, during his first stint with the Jayhawks. Last Saturday, he found himself on the receiving end of a very public theft. A fourth-and-1 play-action pass out of a tight pistol formation ...

KU women's basketball adds guard Sabus to 2027 class

The Utah transfer, a senior from Houston, has the ...

Leipold updates status of pair of receivers after loss to Utah

SALT LAKE CITY — In Saturday’s 41-24 loss to No. 12 Utah, the Kansas football team relied as heavily as in any game this year on the trio of wide receivers Cam Pickett, Nik McMillan and Nahzae Cox. The group accounted for 26 of quarterback Isaiah Marshall’s 37 targets, and Pickett had a career-best day with eight catches for 134 yards. McMillan caught four passes for 89 yards and one touchdown, and could ...

What did we learn from KU's loss to Utah?

SALT LAKE CITY — Early in the second half, it looked like Kansas might be able to keep pace with No. 12 Utah in a shootout. That would have been almost unthinkable entering Saturday given the inconsistency of the Jayhawks’ offense, but quarterback Isaiah Marshall had hit his stride, and if the KU defense could have forced another turnover or two like it did early on, who knows what might have ...
