  Kansas defensive coordinator Brian Borland said Thursday that linebacker Lorenzo McCaskill's transfer from Louisiana will provide the Jayhawks with an accomplished player at a position that could have benefited from additional experience. McCaskill, who participated in practice for the first time on Thursday morning wearing No. 7, is a 6-foot, 220-pound sixth-year senior from Detroit who was named to the All-Sun Belt second team last season. He played inside linebacker in Louisiana's 3-3-5 scheme, which is slightly different than the 4-3 base defense the Jayhawks use. "He's an inside linebacker, probably more of that middle linebacker spot for us, so I'm sure that's something similar to what he did," Borland said. "Kids are adaptable. He'll learn our scheme. He'll adapt, and there's things - even though it's a different alignment and things like that, a lot of it's still the same. Football is football, so I don't have any problem or any worry that he won't catch on or he won't fit in."

McCaskill's transfer was delayed as he finished his coursework at Louisiana. He spent his first season at Holmes Community College in Goodman, Mississippi, before transferring to Louisiana in 2018 and started all 12 games last season for the Ragin' Cajuns, who were the Sun Belt champion in 2020 and 2021 and reached a bowl game in each of his four seasons. He decided to leave Louisiana in January, after coach Billy Napier was hired at Florida, and initially received interest from USC and Tennessee but wanted to find somewhere he could play more often. - Lawrence Journal World
