Kansas football has a few talented names in the backfield, and this summer will pose as an opportunity for junior running back Velton Gardner to get back in the game.
Leaning his support behind former leading rusher Pooka Williams Jr. last year, Gardner was a regular part of the Jayhawks’ rushing rotation. After Williams’ early departure, things got shaken up a bit.
