Kansas walk-on Dillon Wilhite brings size, energy, and low-maintenance minutes
In the 2024-25 season, Dillon Wilhite was a reserve Kansas forward who gave the Jayhawks brief, efficient minutes in limited action, including a career-high 4 points against Oklahoma State; at 6-9 and 240 pounds, his value is in size, inside support, and being a reliable team-first walk-on rather than a high-usage scorer. Kansas coach Bill Self praised his attitude and impact as a senior walk-on, and his profile fits a team that needs depth, physicality, and a positive locker-room presence more than star-level production.[1][5][8][10]
