Kansas football has welcomed a series of interesting Buffalo transfers recently, all interested in head coach Lance Leipold’s goals in Lawrence. Included in the load is Trevor Wilson, a young receiver who found success during his freshman season at Buffalo.
Wilson joins the Kansas roster after posting a decent stat sheet in the 2020 season. He was responsible for 319 yards on 19 receptions, including 3 touchdowns.
Making contributions offensively, Wilson can make space and be a dependable target. There’s still room to grow, but he should make an impact on the Jayhawks’ receiving core this fall.
Considering Kansas finds a reliable quarterback from the ongoing position battle, Wilson could set up opportunities to throw the ball more successfully.

Wilson can make grabs under both pressure and tight space, which is good news for Kansas.
At Buffalo, Wilson was supported by the arm of veteran quarterback Kyle Vantrease, who gave him solid experience and a reliable quarterback to lean on.
With offseason additions to the offensive line, including the transfer of Mike Novitsky from Buffalo, there should be pressure relief on both the receiving and rushing end.
If Kansas can’t figure out the quarterback situation, there may be some issues. However, some offensive line relief should be inbound for the Jayhawks and, if productive, may help Wilson make a smooth transition.
Many of the Buffalo transfers will have two or more years to spend at Kansas, which will allow time for growth and improvement. In the case of Wilson, there’s an exciting four years of eligibility due to the pandemic.
Wilson will also join returning senior receiver Kwamie Lassiter II, who holds respectable experience and may be of beneficial support to Wilson during his first season with the Jayhawks.
