Kansas Basketball 2025-26 Player Profile: Jayden Dawson

We are just one day away from the first exhibition game of the season, as Kansas will take on Louisville tomorrow at the KFC Yum! Center. With that being said, it’s time for another player profile. For this edition, the focus is on newcomer Jayden Dawson.

The 6-foot-5 combo guard from Omaha, Nebraska, graduated high school as a three-star prospect and was recruited by Loyola Chicago, Drake, George Mason, Indiana State, Radford, UMass, and Wyoming, according to 247Sports.

The senior transfer joins KU after spending three seasons at Loyola Chicago under head coach Drew Valentine.
