Kwamie Lassiter II’s Quiet Career Ascension

Walk-on turned viral sensation Jared Casey has been the story of the Kansas football season, and with good reason. He just keeps making plays. Give him a scholarship and unlimited Applebees for as long as he wears a KU jersey.

But while Casey is drawing all the headlines—again, 100% deservedly—another Kansas receiver (and former walk-on) is quietly putting up the best season of his career and quickly moving up the Kansas history books. Coming off a performance of eight catches for 102 yards against TCU, Kwamie Lassiter II is having an exceptional season and has to be one of the names mentioned when discussing the resurgence of this offense.
