  Winless through the six first games of the season, the Kansas football program will have to traverse the remainder of the schedule without one of its top defensive players, linebacker Dru Prox. KU head coach Les Miles said following the Jayhawks' 52-22 loss to Iowa State on Saturday that Prox informed the coaches earlier this week he is opting out of the remainder of the 2020 season. "He has a very significant personal reason," Miles said of Prox's decision, which came less than two weeks after KU lost offensive star Pooka Williams to an opt out. "That's certainly not something I will share. But he has reason to opt out, other than football," Miles added of Prox.

An inside linebacker who made nine tackles in his most recent appearance for KU, at West Virginia two weeks ago, Prox entered the weekend as the Jayhawks' third-leading tackler (23 total) even though he had missed two games already this season. "It was a pretty good blow," sophomore safety Kenny Logan Jr. said of losing Prox. "But we have guys behind him that were ready to step in and take the role on. So I'm happy those guys are here." Miles said he doesn't know whether Prox, who is a junior, will be back for the 2021 season. "I would love to have him. I'll tell you that," Miles said. "But he's going to have to - he's got some work he's got to do. Not for me, but for his family." - Lawrence Journal World
