  Draft Scout by Conference








  07/29/22 - OLB Lonnie PhelpsrJr/2023, Kansas

  The Jayhawks' pass rush needs to improve upon what it was capable of in 2021. That would be true even if Kyron Johnson, selected in this year's NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, was able to return to Kansas for one more season. And Johnson led the Jayhawks, by far, in quarterback hurries and sacks. Phelps' addition, by way of a transfer from Miami (Ohio), therefore becomes all the more important. Yes, the Mid-American Conference is in the Group of Five and Big 12 in the Power Five. But Phelps' ability to record 9.5 sacks in 13 games last season and get into the backfield in other ways remains impressive.

Phelps was a 247Sports Composite three-star prospect coming out of high school. He was an even better three-star talent as a transfer. A redshirt junior in 2022, Kansas lists him at 6-foot-3 and 245 pounds. "Lonnie is a freak of nature," Logan said. "Lonnie can swing the edge. … He has a high motor, so Lonnie goes and goes and goes. And he's strong, so Lonnie is going to be a great help for us." Logan, asked how quickly he noticed that, added: "I saw that immediately, as soon as he walked in the door." - Topeka Capital Journal
