Kansas is bringing back a great deal of talent from last year’s roster, so we ranked each Big 12 football team based on its returning production for the 2023 season.

The Big 12 is one of the best conferences in the country at bringing in talent, as well as putting talent in the NFL. This year, it will need to be at its very best at the former in order to compete with the likes of the Big 10, SEC, and ACC.

With only three teams in the top 20 in terms of returning production, it could be a rocky start for some of the teams in the conference. The Kansas Jayhawks, however, have plenty of the 2022 team’s top players returning.

Here is how Big 12 football teams are ranked by returning production, as well as how they rank in the entire country according to ESPN.
