  08/17/22 - FB Jared CaseyrSr/2025, Kansas

  Kansas redshirt sophomore tight end Jared Casey said Saturday that he is now on scholarship following a successful season that included the winning two-point conversion reception in overtime against Texas. Casey, from Plainville, enrolled at Kansas in 2020. He played in nine of the Jayhawks' 12 games last season, primarily on special teams, before assuming a more prominent role on offense in the final three games.

He said he was told in April by coach Lance Leipold that he would be given a scholarship, then immediately called his parents, Jerry and Karen, to let them know. "It was really surreal," Casey said after the Jayhawks' 10th practice of training camp. "I just went into a meeting and they basically just told me. I called my parents really quickly. It was kind of like, an emotional exchange between us because I'm a hard worker and I worked for this, so it was really cool." Casey ran for more than 2,000 yards, accounted for 30 touchdowns and had nine interceptions and 425 tackles while at Plainville High but did not have any Division I scholarship offers upon graduation. He accepted former coach Les Miles' offer to enroll at Kansas as a preferred walk-on, which is a designation given to a player who is not on scholarship but does not have to try out for the team, and did not play his first season. - Lawrence Journal World
