After just two seasons with Kansas football, Marcus Harris will be taking his talents elsewhere.

Following the hire of head coach Lance Leipold, it was expected that our roster would lose some of its talent. However, Harris’ departure will open a crucial spot on the Jayhawks’ defensive line.

Defensive coordinator D.J. Eliot is not expected to remain on staff when Leipold’s new staff arrives, which may have influenced Marcus’ decision to transfer.
