Associate head coach Andy Kotelnicki details Kansas offensive approach
Summary

As Kansas prepares for the upcoming season, associate head coach Andy Kotelnicki is focusing on defining the team's offensive identity with a new starting quarterback, Isaiah Marshall. Following the departure of Jalon Daniels, Marshall steps into the lead role for an offense aiming to improve consistency. Kotelnicki emphasized physical play and versatility across the offensive line, where the coaching staff continues to cross-train multiple players, including DeAndre Harper and Amir Herring, to secure the strongest unit. Wide receiver depth remains a focal point, with Nik McMillan, Nahzae Cox, and Keaton Kubecka seeing significant practice time. At running back, Jalen Dupree and Yasin Willis are expected to provide physicality alongside Dylan Edwards. Tight end Carson Bruhn has also made strides as a pass-catcher during fall camp. The coaching staff continues to evaluate player capabilities to finalize their tactical approach for the season ahead.
