On the spot: Kansas RB Khalil Herbert
We’re taking a closer look this week at 10 Big 12 players who have been on the spot this spring. Some are coming back from injury, in the middle of a key position battle or appear tabbed to provide an upgrade in an important area. For these guys, this offseason is a big deal.

Sophomore RB Khalil Herbert is expected to get the bulk of the carries for the Jayhawks.Senior Ke'aun Kinner scored just three touchdowns and gained 738 yards -- ninth among leading rushers on Big 12 teams -- as the Jayhawks ranked ninth in the league in rushing yards per game (119.1) and per attempt (3.53).
