Unfortunate DeShawn Hanika injury provides opportunities for others to develop

With the season-ending injury to tight end DeShawn Hanika, the Kansas football team now turns to Boden Groen and Carson Gruhn to take on more snaps. This opportunity should aid in the development of Gruhn, a redshirt freshman.

You have to feel bad for Kansas football tight end DeShawn Hanika. He was given an extra year of eligibility due to an injury he suffered last year when he was with Iowa State. Now, after an injury sustained early in the Cincinnati game, he is out for the year, and his college career is most likely finished.
