Coming into the 2020 season, the Kansas defensive line entered as a young group, hoping to gain experience against a loaded schedule of Big 12 teams. By the end of the year, the group had developed into one of the strengths of the team thanks to redshirt freshmen Marcus Harris and DaJon Terry, both members of Coach Les Miles’ first recruiting class.
Mix in Caleb Sampson, Jereme Robinson, Caleb Taylor, Sam Burt, Malcolm Lee and others, and the group developed depth and production throughout the year. Now, they’re adding even more reinforcements for 2021.
The Jayhawks, and defensive line coach Kwahn Drake, signed two players in the early period. Here’s a closer look:
