The Jayhawks have had several outstanding two-sport athletes over the years and Devin is joining the elite fraternity. Devin has a really good swing and great speed on the bases. He is the second dual sport player we have added to our program along with current freshman Trevor Kardell, and comes from the same local HS that produced All Big 12 outfielder Brian Heere.
