Dakyus Brinkley just committed to Kansas football out of the blue, making him the highest-rated high school commit in KU’s 2024 recruiting class.
Dakyus Brinkley just became the highest-rated recruit to ever commit to the Kansas Jayhawks in the 247 Sports composite era (2012). Brinkley is a 6-foot-3, 222-pound, 4-star prospect on 247 Sports Composite and ranks as the No. 259 player in the country. Brinkley chose the Jayhawks over a loaded offer list consisting of SMU, Kansas State, Texas, Oklahoma, Penn State, Purdue, Texas A&M, and many more.
Jordan Peterson has done it again, as he has been the main recruiter for many of the highly touted recruits the Jayhawks have pulled in so far. Peterson has now aided with landing two EDGE recruits in the last 72 hours, a position Kansas football desperately needed in the 2024 recruiting class. It has been a tremendous all-around effort by the entire Kansas coaching staff in the 2024 recruiting cycle.
Kansas now has a pair of EDGE’s that can really get after the quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class, something the Jayhawks have not had in a very long time. Getting pressure on the quarterback without having to bring extra guys in is something that makes your defense immensely better.

The 2024 recruiting class is looking like an all-timer for the Jayhawks, assuming everyone stays committed over the next 169 days until National Signing Day. Kansas still has looming decisions from 4-star prospects Nick Marsh and Michael Boganowski that could make things even more special. Kansas is seen as long shots for both of them, but nothing is ever over in the recruiting world and things can change very quickly one way or another.
I wrote back in June about what a commitment from Brinkley would mean for Kansas thinking it would be more of a dream than a reality, but this coaching staff continues to be a pleasant surprise on the recruiting trail. They deserve a ton of credit for their work.
