KU football hasn’t always prioritized Kansas recruits. Les Miles is changing that

Will Huggins doesn’t have to wonder where he stands with the Kansas football program.

The Shawnee Mission South junior says he’s reminded of the team’s thoughts about him — often.

“I have letters on top of letters at my door every single day. Calls every single day,” Huggins said. “ ... They’re recruiting way harder than anybody I’ve ever been recruited by — by a long shot.”

Huggins, a 6-foot-7 tight end who committed last week, admits he hasn’t always followed KU’s football program. He grew up watching the Jayhawks’ successful basketball team with family members, but hadn’t always given much thought to playing football in Lawrence.
