Proven Kansas edge rusher with a track record of production
Jake Laptad stood out at Kansas as a durable, high-output defensive end who finished his Jayhawks career with 21 sacks and 33 tackles for loss, ranking among the program’s better pass-rush producers.[2] His value is in consistency and disruption: he was noted for getting into the backfield frequently, including a stretch where he was in on a sack in five of six games and six of eight overall.[1] For a team wanting a reliable edge presence with proven production, he profiles as a pressure-first defender rather than a flashy athlete.[2][1]
