Before Lance Leipold and several of his assistant coaches left Buffalo to take on a rebuilding project with Kansas football, a search to replace a third-round NFL draft pick led them to Zion DeBose. As Leipold and his staff got to KU and determined the Jayhawks needed some reinforcements on the defensive line, they circled back to DeBose, a former backup at Virginia Tech who had committed to them at UB as a transfer before the coaching change. Still finishing up his degree at VT this spring when Leipold left for KU, DeBose backed out of going to Buffalo and instead joined the Jayhawks as a summer enrollee and graduate transfer.

Leipold said during a recent interview with the Journal-World that when he and his staff initially came across DeBose, they envisioned the Hokies reserve as a replacement for former UB defensive end Malcolm Koonce, whom the Las Vegas Raiders selected in the third round of this year's draft. They were looking for "another twitchy end" and saw DeBose, listed at 6-foot-1 and 245 pounds, as a solution to their problem. A redshirt junior at Virginia Tech in 2020, DeBose appeared in four games as a reserve D-lineman and made six total tackles and a sack before opting out of the rest of the season, due to the pandemic. "But he showed the twitch and the speed that we needed," Leipold said of DeBose. - Lawrence Journal World
