Kenean Caldwell is Kansas’ veteran trench anchor with real take-the-run-game-personally energy
In the 2025 season, Caldwell played in 11 games with four starts for Kansas and finished with 19 tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, one sack, and a fumble recovery, while Kansas sources described him as a senior leader and the “engine” of the defense. He’s a 6-foot-3, 325-pound interior defender whose value goes beyond the box score: he’s been praised for improved quickness, high motor, and gap-clogging run defense, and he showed up as a disruptive force early in 2025. That profile fits teams that want a seasoned, physical DT who can stabilize the middle and set a nasty tone.
