Kansas Jayhawks unveiled a 2012 football class of 20 players, yesterday. Head coach Charlie Weis stated that he believed the Jayhawks addressed many needs and filled holes on the team with the recruiting class, but also stressed the Jayhawks are not done possibly looking to add a few other players to the class later on.
Jayhawks class consists of three transfers from four years schools, eight JUCO transfers and nine high school players. The four-year college transfer highlight the recruiting class with former Notre Dame quarterback, Dayne Crist coming in and slated to be the starting quarterback for Kansas next season, as he as enrolled in graduate school at the University of Kansas. Former BYU quarterback, Jake Heaps and former Oklahoma Sooners wide receiver, Justin McCay have also transferred to KU.
Other players who highlight KU's recruiting class are local players: wide receiver, Tre Parmalee (Bishop Miege) and offensive lineman, Brian Beckman (Blue Valley West).
