Last week, there was some uncertainty surrounding the status of Big 12 Preseason Offensive Player of the Year Jalon Daniels. And after he was announced in the stadium as the starter but didn't play a down, fans were understandably worried about his status for the next few weeks.
Well they don't need to wonder any more, as Daniels is reportedly the starter for the Kansas Jayhawks tonight as they take on the Illinois Fighting Illini.
First, the news broke yesterday (via ESPN) that he was expected to play in the game, although there was no indication if he would actually start the game.
But Bryson Stricker was confident that the starting decision has already been made:
Blue Wings Rising has confirmed Stricker's report that Daniels will be the starter barring an unexpected setback during warmups tonight.
So what does this mean for Kansas?
Either way, it's good to hear that Jalon Daniels will be back on the field. And when he first takes the field, expect that to juice up the crowd even more.
