a veteran Kansas safety with brains, versatility, and steady reliability
In the 2010 season, Kansas safety Olaitan Oguntodu stood out less as a headline-chaser and more as a dependable, high-IQ defensive piece: a two-time Academic All-Big 12 selection who had the versatility to play both safety and linebacker and was praised for his steady production and strong football character. He finished his Kansas career with 63 tackles in 32 games, including a career-high 56 tackles as a senior, which points to a player teams could trust to do the dirty work and keep the defense organized.
