Kansas lands a disruptive in-state edge with size, production, and Big Ten-level interest
Hunter Higgins looks like a classic power-conference developmental win for Kansas: a 6-foot-5, 250-plus-pound defensive lineman from Maize South who paired verified high-school production with major recruiting buzz. In his junior season, he posted 13 sacks, 62 tackles, and 10 tackles for loss, including a five-sack game that set a school record, which tells you the juice is real[7]. Evaluators have treated him as a top Kansas prospect with offers from Michigan, Nebraska, Wisconsin, and others, so the Jayhawks are getting a tough, physical defender with upside and local credibility[1][6][7].
