Kansas Football Safeties

Kenny Logan Jr. has been one of the most prolific tacklers in recent Kansas football history. He has kicked off his final year of eligibility strongly.

The position battle at free safety is a bit more intriguing. OJ Burroughs is listed as the starter on the depth chart, but Marvin Grant has received more opportunities. Both will still play, but it looks like Grant is now the top guy.
