Leaper was recently featured on an episode of College Colors Never Fade, a series by College Colors Day showcasing 12 unique, emotional fan stories from across the country. Tomorrow will be the 15th annual College Colors Day to celebrate the start of the 150th season of college football.
Leaper comes from a household of Jayhawk fans, as the Williams education fund is actually named after his father, uncle, and grandfather. Leaper had anoxia at birth which restricted the oxygen from getting to his brain causing brain damage. When Leaper’s dad asked about his son getting a job with the football team, head coach Pepper Rodgers gave him a shot.
