On Tuesday, the Kansas Jayhawks football team received uplifting news as standout cornerback Cobee Bryant revealed on social media his decision to remain with the program rather than exploring options in the NFL Draft or pursuing a transfer.
Bryant’s return marks a significant boost for the Jayhawks, as he aims to emulate the feat achieved by Aqib Talib in securing consecutive First-Team All-Big 12 honors. He emerges as a strong contender for a third consecutive season.
With quarterback Jalon Daniels and running back Devin Neal also returning to anchor the offense, Kansas appears poised to contend as one of the top teams in the conference, positioning themselves as legitimate contenders for a spot in the College Football Playoff.
