KU football players honored

By Matt Tait

Though they were shut out on the first team, 10 Kansas University football players landed on Phil Steele’s All-Big 12 preseason teams, released Wednesday.

Steele, who operates a popular college football publication, tapped offensive tackle Tanner Hawkinson and linebacker Huldon Tharp as second-team selections.

Hawkinson, 6-foot-6, 293 pounds, is a sophomore from McPherson High who made a name for himself during 2009 by protecting Todd Reesing’s blind side. The defensive lineman-turned-offensive tackle started all 12 games a season ago and earned first-team freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America, The Sporting News and CollegeFootballNews.com.

Tharp, a 6-foot, 217-pound sophomore from Mulvane High, started seven games in 2009 and was named to Steele’s first-team all-freshman squad. He was fifth on the team in tackles, with 59, and had a season-high 13 stops in a loss to Nebraska.

Joining that duo on Steele’s list were: third-team selections tight end Tim Biere, linebacker Drew Dudley, cornerback Chris Harris, placekicker Jacob Branstetter and punt returner Daymond Patterson.

On the fourth team, Steele included center Jeremiah Hatch, defensive end Jake Laptad and punter Alonso Rojas. Laptad earned an honorable-mention All-Big 12 nod last season.

KU offers versatile Volunteer

Kansas recently became the seventh school to offer a scholarship to Class of 2011 linebacker David Helton, of Baylor School in Chattanooga, Tenn. Helton, 6-3, 226, also has offers from Air Force, Duke, Memphis and Syracuse and told Rivals he was being recruited as a linebacker, defensive end and tight end.

Arkansas LB likes Jayhawks

Jason Hensley, a 6-2, 215-pound linebacker from Alma (Ark.) High, recently told Rivals.com that Kansas was his leader. Hensley is being recruited by offensive-line coach J.B. Grimes and told Rivals that he would visit KU’s campus on June 3. Hensley also has an offer from Tulsa and has received interest from LSU and Oklahoma State.

“People have asked me about decommitments and whatnot,” the Blue Springs junior said in March. “But I honestly don’t see that in my future. If I had any doubt in my mind then I wouldn’t have made the decision. No one pressured me.”

Kids.

Miller went to a bunch of combines and other events this spring and summer. He was one of the top guys every place he went. He is probably receiving a lot of interest from programs that weren't so interested when he committed to KU.

Always a chance stuff like this happens. A verbal commitment is just a reservation.

KU-KSU football game officially moved to Thursday night

Jayhawks, Wildcats to square off Oct. 14

Kansas wide receiver Johnathan Wilson works through a drill at KU's football practice Friday, April 16 at Memorial Stadium.

Fans of the annual Sunflower Showdown between the Kansas University and Kansas State University football programs won't have to wait quite as long to see this year's game.
KU officials announced Tuesday that the 108th edition of the Sunflower Showdown, originally scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 16, would be moved to Oct. 14 and would be shown on national television on Fox Sports Net.

Game time is set for 6:30 p.m. in Lawrence.
KU athletic director Lew Perkins said the change would bring great exposure to KU.
“It is exciting for this in-state rivalry to be featured nationally with the television exposure of a Thursday night game on FSN,” Perkins said. “This telecast will showcase the city of Lawrence and our great university.”
The KU-K-State football series is the nation’s fourth-longest uninterrupted series in the country. The two teams have played 98 straight years beginning in 1911. Kansas leads the all-time series 65-37-5, including a 37-15-2 mark in games played in Lawrence.
Kansas had won four of the last five meetings, including three straight before Kansas State defeated the Jayhawks 17-10 in Manhattan last year. KU has won three consecutive matchups in Lawrence, including a 52-21 victory in 2008.
KU coach Turner Gill said he was excited about the schedule change for this year's contest.
“This gives us a chance to show the nation the great support of Kansas football fans,” Gill said. “It also benefits our students since school will be out Thursday and Friday.”
The Thursday game will be the second non-Saturday kickoff for Turner Gill's Jayhawks this fall. KU also will play a non-conference game at Southern Mississippi on Friday, Sept. 17. That game also will be televised nationally on ESPN.

That kind of screws up my tailgaiting unless I leave work early. But a night game should be fun.

Why is ESPN showing a KU non-con game? Crazy.
