Kansas football offensive lineman Jacobi Lott

Although the surge of Kansas football players entering the transfer portal this offseason had died down, the Jayhawks lost another former starter on Friday when offensive lineman Jacobi Lott put his name in the portal, per reports from both 247 Sports and Rivals.

Lott, who would have been a junior with the Jayhawks in 2021, came back to the program prior to the start of spring practices after opting out late in the 2020 season. However, the guard from Amarillo, Texas, had a short-lived return.

A starter at left guard in each of KU’s first seven games this past fall, Lott, listed most recently at 6-foot-4 and 324 pounds, opted out in late November, missing the final two games of the Jayhawks’ 0-9 season.

Malik Clark returned to his natural spot at left guard, starting the final two games of 2020, and the super-senior has reestablished himself at that spot on the O-line this spring.

Most of the players from KU’s 2020 roster who decided to transfer were seniors looking to play their final year of college football elsewhere.

In transferring, Lott joined linebacker Dru Prox, defensive backs Corione Harris and Davon Ferguson, offensive lineman Jalan Robinson and defensive lineman Clinton Anokwuru as non-senior scholarship players who left KU.
