Although a number of seniors from the Kansas football program's 2020 roster decided to transfer elsewhere, the Jayhawks are set to bring back eight players for an extra senior year. KU coach Les Miles confirmed with the Journal-World on Thursday that offensive linemen Chris Hughes, Malik Clark and Adagio Lopeti, receiver Kwamie Lassiter II, linebacker Kyron Johnson, safeties Ricky Thomas and Nate Betts and nose tackle Sam Burt decided to take advantage of the NCAA's blanket waiver and play one more season with the Jayhawks. "There's going to be a key group of leaders," Miles said of having the veterans returning for the 2021 season. While KU lost two of its most talented receivers, Andrew Parchment and Stephon Robinson Jr, to the transfer portal, the offense will be able to bring back Lassiter, the former KU walk-on who ended up leading the team in receiving in 2020. - Lawrence Journal World

In the case of the Kansas football program, the NCAA's transfer portal typically taketh away more than it giveth. But the Jayhawks came out on the positive side of the portal for a change on Tuesday, when former Notre Dame offensive lineman Colin Grunhard decided to join KU. "Can't wait to do everything I canto help KU win," Grunhard posted to his Twitter account.

A walk-on with the Fighting Irish for the past four years, Grunhard, a former standout high school center at nearby Bishop Miege, played in three games as a reserve for Notre Dame (10-2) in 2020. Grunhard shared via his Twitter account on Jan. 2 that he was entering the portal as a graduate transfer, looking to start working on his MBA, with two more years of eligibility left. - Lawrence Journal World
