DE Austin Booker

Game Stats: 3 tackles, 2 solo, 2.0 sacks

Booker emerged as one of the best Kansas football defensive players last night. He recorded a pair of sacks and was a nightmare all night for the Illinois O-line. The coaching staff said he had been performing well throughout fall camp, and it looks like that hard work has been paying off.
