2020 SCHEDULEJAYHAWKS RETURN TO ACTION TO HOST TCU
The Kansas Jayhawks are set to return to action this week after
two
weeks off. Kansas will host TCU, winners of two of its last
three games.
Despite a home game now scheduled for Dec. 12 against Texas,
Kansas will
celebrate Senior Day prior to the game this week against TCU,
honoring 15
members of the senior class. TCU had a bye last weekend, and
sits at 3-4
on the season entering this weekend’s matchup with Kansas. The
Horned
Frogs are 2-1 on the road this year with wins over Texas and
Baylor. Kansas
pulled out a thrilling 27-26 win over TCU the last time the
Horned Frogs
visited Lawrence in 2018. Peyton Bender threw for 249 yards and
two
touchdowns in the win. This year’s edition is set for 7 p.m., on
FS1. Eric
Collins and Ben Leber will have the call.
QUICK HITS• Kansas has 67 total underclassmen on its team this
year, which makes up 60.4% of the overall roster. That percentage
ranks 27th in the country and third in the Big 12.• The Jayhawks
have 37 total true freshmen on their roster, which is the
seventh-most in the country and most in the Big 12 Conference. Six
true freshmen – Armaj Adams-Reed, Lawrence Arnold, Jalon Daniels,
Luke Grimm, Daniel Hishaw Jr., and Karon Prunty – have started at
least one game for Kansas.• Freshman cornerback Karon Prunty has
nine pass breakups on the season. That figure is second in the Big
12, tied for fifth nationally and tops among all freshmen
nationally. Prunty had a career-high three pass breakups last time
out against Oklahoma.
• Redshirt freshman Marcus Harris is tied for sixth in the
country among all
freshmen with 6 ½ tackles-for-loss. All of his TFLs have come
over his last
three games. His three TFLs earlier this season at West Virginia
are tied for
the second-most by a freshman in a single game this season.
• True sophomore Kenny Logan Jr., is third in the Big 12
Conference with
35 solo tackles. Logan had a 100-yard kickoff return for a
touchdown last
month against Iowa State, and also has interceptions in
back-to-back
games. He is averaging 7.1 tackles per game, which ranks sixth
in the Big
12.
• Through seven games, the Jayhawks already have 19 different
defensive
players who have registered at least a ½ tackle-for-loss.
Freshman Karon
Prunty is the latest to join the group after picking up his
first career TFL
last game against Oklahoma.
• True sophomore running back Velton Gardner ranks seventh in
the Big 12
in rushing yards per game at 54.2. He’s averaging 4.5 yards per
carry and
has 325 rushing yards on the season.
• The first two recruiting classes for Coach Les Miles have
already
produced 18 players who have started at least one game.
• This game will break a streak of facing three-straight ranked
teams for
the Jayhawks. Kansas had played ranked teams in four of the past
five
games and three straight. The Jayhawks were set to play another
ranked
team in Texas last week before the game was postponed.
• There will be no fans permitted at the game Saturday.

Kansas Game Notes // Game 8 vs. TCU • 32020 KANSAS FOOTBALL
NOTES
YOUTH IS SERVED• Kansas has 37 true freshmen on its roster,
which is the seventh-most in the country. Of the 37, 24 have
appeared in at least one game this season. The 37 true freshmen are
the most in the Big 12 and the fifth-most by a Power 5 program.•
Kansas has 67 total underclassmen, accounting for 60.4% of its
roster. That ranks Kansas as the 27th-youngest team in the
country.• The Jayhawks currently have 83 players on their roster
who have appeared in at least one game this season. Of the 83, 45
are underclassmen; meaning 54% of the players who have played this
season for Kansas are underclassmen.• So far this season, 16
Jayhawks have made their first-career start, which ranks second in
the Big 12 and tied for 12th nationally. True freshman wide
receiver Luke Grimm became the 16th when he made his first start
against Oklahoma.• A total of 35 players from Miles’ first two
recruiting classes have already appeared in a game for Kansas. • Of
the 35, 18 have started at least one game. • Miles signed 18
players in his first class in 2019 and 15 of those 18 have played
in a game for the Jayhawks already. • So far this year, 20 true
scholarship freshmen have played in at least one game this season.
• Six true freshmen – Jalon Daniels, Karon Prunty, Daniel Hishaw
Jr., Armaj Adams-Reed and Lawrence Arnold – have started at least
one game. • Kansas has a freshman or a sophomore leading the team
in each of the following categories:
o Leading tackler – Kenny Logan Jr., sophomoreo Leading
interceptions – Kenny Logan Jr., sophomoreo Leading
tackles-for-loss – Marcus Harris, redshirt freshmano Leading pass
breakups – Karon Prunty, freshmano Leading fumble recoveries –
Duece Mayberry, freshmano Leading rusher – Velton Gardner,
sophomoreo Leading passer – Jalon Daniels, freshman

Taylor• P Reis Vernon
TOUGH COMPETITION• The Jayhawks closed out their 2019 schedule
by playing five ranked teams over their final seven weeks. Combine
that with the four ranked opponents Kansas has faced this season
and that means nine of the Jayhawks last 14 opponents have been
ranked coming into the matchup. • During that span, the Jayhawks'
have faced Oklahoma (ranked sixth and 19th) twice, Kansas State (22
and 20) twice, Oklahoma State (25 and 17) twice, Texas (15 and 21)
twice, and Iowa State (23) once and Baylor (9) once.• The tough
slate of ranked teams does not include Coastal Carolina, who is
undefeated and ranked No. 15 in the country. • TCU will be the
fourth unranked team Kansas has faced this season, equaling the
number of ranked opponents the Jayhawks have seen.• This will be
the first time since Oct. 17 (at West Virginia) the Jayhawks aren’t
facing a ranked team.
JALON IS PLAYIN'• Jalon Daniels, who turned 18 last month, is
believed to be the youngest quarterback ever to start a game for
Kansas. Daniels started three games as a 17-year-old, before his
fourth start last time out against Iowa State as an 18-year-old.
Daniels is not the first true freshman quarterback in Kansas
history, but is the youngest. • Others who started as true freshmen
include Ryan Willis (2015), Adam Barmann (2003) and Kelly Donohoe
(1986).• Daniels has thrown for 661 yards in six games this year,
completing 52 % of his passes. • He is one of only 22 quarterbacks
nationally this season to pass for 200 or more yards and rush for
two touchdowns in the same game. He’s the only true freshman to
have done it so far this season. • Daniels scored his third rushing
touchdown of the season against Iowa State when he scored from 12
yards out. He leads the team in rushing touchdowns with three. He
has 36 net rushing yards this season and 196 before sacks.• A
native of Lawndale, California, Daniels is planning to major in
computer engineering. Threw for 2,351 yards and 26 TDs as a junior
at Lawndale High School.

JAYHAWK RADIO NETWORK
LOGAN LOGGING PLAYS• One of the final members of Les Miles’
first recruiting class at Kansas, safety Kenny Logan Jr., has been
a major contributor for the Jayhawks this season.• The younger
brother of Brandon James, one of the most prolific kick returners
in SEC history at Florida, Logan showed the return gene runs in the
family. Logan scored on a 100-yard kickoff return against Iowa
State. It was the first 100-yard kick return by a Jayhawk since
2002 and the fourth in school history.• Logan also logged an
interception in the second half against the Cyclones. He is the
only player in college football this season to have a kickoff
return for a touchdown and an interception in the same game. In
fact, he’s the first to do it nationally since Boise State’s Avery
Williams did it in 2018.• Logan picked off another pass against
Oklahoma to give him back-to-back games with an interception – the
first two of his career.• He also had a pass breakup against Iowa
State and is the first player to add that to the kick return
touchdown and interception since Troy’s Marcus Jones did it in
2017.• Logan leads the team in tackles with 50, which ranks ninth
in the conference. • Logan has 35 solo tackles on the year, which
is third in the Big 12 Conference.• The sophomore from Florida had
three solo stops and a pass breakup against Iowa State to go with
his pick and kickoff return touchdown. Against Oklahoma, he had
seven tackles and an interception.
PRUNTY ISLAND• True freshman cornerback Karon Prunty has had a
brilliant start to his Kansas career. • A track & field star at
I.C. Norcom High School in Portsmouth, Virginia, Prunty has started
all seven games this season at cornerback. • He leads all freshmen
nationally with nine pass breakups this season. He’s second in the
Big 12 and tied for third nationally with that figure.• Prunty had
a career-high three pass breakups against Oklahoma last time out.
He had two earlier this season against West Virginia, and has at
least one in every other game, with the exception of the Iowa State
matchup. • The freshman also has 20 tackles on the season,
including one for a loss. • Prunty and defensive lineman Caleb
Sampson are the only two Kansas defensive players to have started
all seven games this season.
MOST PASS BREAKUPS BY A FRESHMAN NATIONALLY THIS SEASON1. Karon
Prunty, Kansas 9T2. Shyhiem Battle, NC State 7T2. Anthony Wilson,
Georgia Southern 7T4. Antavious Lane, Georgia State 6T4. Malachi
Moore, Alabama 6T1. Garrett Williams, Syracuse 6
MARCUS MAKING PLAYS• Redshirt freshmen defensive lineman Marcus
Harris had 2 ½ tackles-for-loss at Kansas State. That came one game
after he had three TFLs at West Virginia. Harris then added another
TFL in his last game against Iowa State.• Harris has 6 ½
tackles-for-loss on the season, which is tied for the sixth-most by
a freshman nationally. • A native of Montgomery, Alabama, Harris
redshirted last year, but still logged playing time against Indiana
State and Baylor. • He has played in six games this season,
starting three. He missed the team’s most recent game against
Oklahoma.• Only one freshman this season has totaled more than
three tackles-for-loss in a game. Harris is tied with several
others for second-most. • Harris leads the team with his 6 ½
tackles-for-loss and has 16 total tackles on the season.

DYNAMIC DUO• The Kansas wide receiving duo of seniors Andrew
Parchment and Stephon Robinson Jr., found the end zone often in
2019, as the duo combined for 15 touchdowns, the most by a pair of
KU wide receivers since 2009 (Dezmon Briscoe, Kerry Meier).•
Despite Robinson missing the season-opener, Parchment found the
end-zone on a 14-yard strike from quarterback Miles Kendrick this
season. The touchdown was the eighth of his KU career. Parchment
scored the ninth touchdown of his career Saturday against West
Virginia, catching a 43-yard touchdown from Kendrick.• The Jayhawks
are the only school in the Big 12 to return two of the top-five
receivers, in terms of receiving yards in 2019. Parchment (2nd, 831
yards) and Robinson (5th, 727 yards) are the only duo to make up
that list.• In his first season in the Crimson and Blue, Parchment
caught 65 passes for 831 yards and 7 touchdowns, with his 831 yards
ranking 13th in Kansas single-season history. Robinson hauled in 45
catches for 727 yards and 8 touchdowns, as his 727 yards ranks 18th

he caught a touchdown pass from Jalon Daniels. However, that
touchdown was overturned after video replay.

Les Miles, a national championship-winning former coach at
Louisiana State and Oklahoma State, was named the head coach of the
University of Kansas football team on November 18, 2018.
KU earned its first victory of the Les Miles era on August 31,
2019, when the Jayhawks defeated Indiana State, 24-17. Miles would
lead the Jayhawks to additional wins over Boston College and Texas
Tech in 2019.
The Jayhawks saw several improved marks in 2019 under Miles,
where KU averaged 377.3 yards per game on offense, the team’s
highest output since 2009. In its win against Boston College, KU
was named Reveal Suits National Team of the Week.
Miles led several Jayhawks to season honors in 2019, including
Bryce Torneden being named to the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.
Two Jayhawks, Hakeem Adeniji and Azur Kamara, participated in the
Reeses Senior Bowl. Adeniji was later drafted by the Cincinnati
Bengals in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.
Upon arriving in Lawrence, Miles had 142 victories, a BCS
national championship, two SEC titles, 109 NFL Draft picks,
including 21 First Round selections, in 35-plus years of college
coaching, the most career wins of anyone who has coached football
at Kansas in the modern era.
Prior to Kansas, Miles served as the head coach at LSU
(2005-16), where his teams averaged 10 wins per year in his 11 full
seasons. He led LSU to bowl games in each of those 11 seasons
(winning seven), and won 42 games against Top-25 teams and 16 over
Top-10 teams. Miles’ teams won 10 or more games seven times,
reached the SEC title game three times (winning twice) and led LSU
to five Top-10 and three Top-5 finishes.During his tenure at LSU,
Miles coached an SEC-leading
69 NFL draft picks, 13 of them first-round selections. He
coached 22 first-team All-Americans and 11 players who won national
awards. He is the second-winningest coach in LSU history in overall
wins (112) and SEC regular-season wins (63).In the classroom, more
than 240 players earned degrees under Miles and during his tenure,
LSU Football’s graduation rate ranked as high as No. 2 in the SEC
multiple times. As part of LSU’s Project Graduation established in
2010, more than 30 players who had left school without a degree
returned to earn their college diploma before Miles left in 2016.
Nearly 190 LSU players were named to the SEC Academic Honor Roll
during Miles’ time there.
Miles went to LSU after a four-year tenure as head coach at
Oklahoma State. The OSU program he took over in 2001 had registered
only one winning season since 1988. The Cowboys went 4-7 his first
year, then had three-straight winning seasons (8-5, 9-4, 7-5). He
led OSU to three-straight bowl games, a first for the program since
1983-85.Miles’ four-year winning percentage of 57 percent is the
best career winning percentage for an OSU coach since 1949. OSU was
the only team in the nation to beat Oklahoma twice during Miles’
four-year tenure there.
Prior to OSU, Miles spent three years as tight-ends coach with
the Dallas Cowboys (one divisional title, two playoff appearances).
He went to Dallas after serving as offensive coordinator at OSU for
three seasons (8-3, Alamo Bowl berth in 1997).
Miles served two stints (total of 10 seasons) as an assistant
coach at Michigan, several of them under legendary head coach Bo
Schembechler. During Miles’ second tenure there, from 1987-94,
Michigan won 71 games, made eight-straight bowl appearances,
including four Rose Bowls, and finished no lower than No. 21 in the
final Associate Press national rankings.
Between tenures at Michigan, Miles spent four seasons as an
assistant coach at the University of Colorado.
Miles graduated from Michigan in 1976 with a degree in
economics. He was a two-year football letterman, playing on two Big
Ten championship teams. He earned all-state honors in football at
Elyria High School in Ohio, where he also earned letters in
baseball and wrestling.
Miles’ wife, Kathy, was a point guard at Central Michigan
University and later an assistant basketball coach at Michigan.
They have two daughters, Kathryn (nickname “Smacker”), a former
swimmer at Texas and currently a TV sports personality and Macy, a
youth softball pitching standout. They also have two sons, Manny,
who played for the Jayhawks in 2019 and Ben, who won a high-school
football state title in 2015 and is currently a fullback at KU.
