Sophomore Jalon Daniels came on strong in the end when he would play in six games completing 81 of his 117 attempts passing for 860 yards while throwing seven touchdowns and three interceptions.

Why Ethan Vasko Chose the Kansas Jayhawks

According to Jon Kirby at JayhawkSlant.com, Ethan said this on choosing Kansas “It feels awesome, and I’m super excited. It’s a big deal for sure. I was excited, I talked to Coach Z the other day when we got together about it, and man, it’s exciting. It’s a great feeling. I can’t wait, my family’s excited and so is KU.”

Vasko talked about the relationship he developed with the Kansas quarterbacks coach Jim Zebrowski, “He likes that I’m not a very tight player and I’m kind of loose when I play,” Vasko said of Zebrowski. “I have a loose throwing motion and can make plays on my feet as well. He likes that I can get out of the pocket and make any throw on the field. He said he likes my character, how I lead on and off the field, and the way I can connect with players.”
