3 Kansas football positions that will be a battle during spring practice

As Kenny Logan Jr. waits for his future to unfold, Leipold will have to decide which Jayhawk should fill his shoes.

The best news for the Jayhawks’ head coach is that he didn’t lose all of his roster at this position. With quite a few returners, the reason this position will be such a battle is simply due to the plethora of players available.

As O.J. Burroughs, Marvin Grant, and Jalen Dye all stay in Lawrence and Damani Maxson starts his collegiate career, the Jayhawks can rest assured that their secondary will be in good hands.
