Kansas football: 2020 National Signing Day roundup

With National Signing Day coming to a close, Kansas football’s 2020 class is more or less set. Time to meet the newest Jayhawks.

Landing the right recruits is the key to turning around a program, making this an important recruiting class for Les Miles and Kansas football. This class really could make or break Miles in his time with the Jayhawks.

Before National Signing Day, Kansas football’s 2020 recruiting class ranked No. 49 in the nation according to Rivals. Now, the class is ranked number 47 overall, and seventh in the Big 12.

Here is every recruit that the Jayhawks signed yesterday on National Signing Day:

• OL, Jackson Satterwhite
• FB, Jared Casey
• WR, Kyler Pearson
• WR, Quentin Skinner
• OL, Bryce Cabeldue
• DL, Kenan Caldwell
• P, Reis Vernon
• OL, Danny Robinson
• CB, Ra’Mello Dotson
• DL, Clinton Anokwuru
• CB, Jacobee Bryant

Notable Signings

Here are brief notes on some of the most notable signees from National Signing Day:

CB, Jacobee Bryant

Bryant, an Alabama native, previously held offers from Tennessee, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Virginia Tech, and others. He decommited from Kansas; however, the Kansas coaching staff was able to reel him back in. As one of the highest-ranked Jayhawks in the 2020 class, he’s a huge pick-up.

DT, Kenen Caldwell

Caldwell is a six-foot-two 295 pound defensive tackle out of New Orleans. He was offered by Oregon, Mississippi State, Colorado, TCU, and others. Caldwell is rated as a top 50 recruit in the state of Louisiana.

DE, Clinton Anokwuru

Anokwuru was previously committed to Texas Tech, and he also held offers from Navy, Washington State, Virginia Tech, and others. The Texas native is a solid signing for the Jayhawks, especially since he was committed to the Red Raiders through October last year.

Overall this recruiting class isn’t extremely impressive, but it isn’t bad either. It’s a solid foundation for Miles, but there’s a lot of work to be done.

Kansas football is heading in the right direction under Les Miles. We may still be a ways away from a complete turnaround of the program, but that’s okay. This is good progress, and so far Miles and his staff have met expectations.
