Kansas’ Position Switch Experiment Pays Off With Two-Touchdown Performance
The Kansas football team was firing on all cylinders during Saturday's blowout win over West Virginia, scoring 37 points and totaling nearly 450 yards of offense. While many players stepped up in the unexpected upset, one Jayhawk continued to make his presence felt.
Running back Khijohnn Cummings-Coleman, who was a defensive back until last month, has quietly become a crucial player in the offense. He switched positions during the Jayhawks' bye due to the abundance of injuries to the backfield and a lack of playing time at the nickel position. Given his experience at wide receiver in high school, Cummings-Coleman hoped he could help the injury-riddled running back room.
