Maybe safety Ricky Thomas should be getting more attention at this point.
Thomas, a sophomore juco transfer from New Orleans, was part of a rejuvenated KU secondary that was spectacular through three games. Since then, though, he’s been out with an undisclosed injury.
And that’s caused a chain reaction that hasn’t gone well so far.
Cornerback Hasan Defense has moved to safety the last two weeks, and he’s received failing overall grades by Pro Football Focus both times. That maybe shouldn’t be unexpected, as a midseason position switch at the start of Big 12 play likely isn’t the most ideal setup.
