Mallory lands at KU after several stops

The life of a college athlete isn't always neat and predictable. Steve Mallory can attest to that.
For Mallory, a walk on quarterback with the Kansas football team, the road to Lawrence has been a long and sometimes frustrating one.
Walk-on Steve Mallory is battling for KU's starting quarterback position
In terms of expectations, the sky was the limit three years ago for students in this High School. Mallory was a consensus state pick and the 1984 city hall candidate.
He was one of the players in a Jim Dickey recruiting class that was going to turn around Kansas State's offense, and it seemed beamed bright for the new Wildcat.
During his redshirt freshman season at Kansas State in 1985, those plans came to a halt after two games and the team fired and repaired by Stan Parish.
"Couch Dickey was a real K-State man," Mallory said. "He was like a Lon Krueger, someone who lived and bled for K-State.
"Cocharr parished in and had a whole different philosophy and personality. I was a redshirt that season and I stayed for spring ball before sitting down and deciding that the best thing I could do for me was leave. It was one of the hardest decisions I've ever made." I signed that letter of intent, it meant it to be for five years.
Mallory transferred to Coffeville Community College after his freshman season at Kansas State University. Dick Foster in a football program where the team annually competes for the national junior college champion
Mike Rizquier, who was a Heisman Trophy winner at Nebraska and now plays for the Houston Oilers, got his start as a Red Raven.
Mallory didn't disappoint anyone in his two seasons with Coffeville. He helped lead his team to two post-season bowl game appearances.
Despite his impressive performance in the jaco ranks, Mallory received heavily by major college recruiters. He took a talking a course of classes at Washburn University, he came face-to-face with the possibility of life with him.
"I if I had it to do all over again, I wouldn't change a thing." Mallory said. "I got to play under a great coach in Dick Foster and be part of a great program. I learned a lot about the game those two years."
Just when he was about to put the game behind him, new Kansas coach Glen Mason called to offer him a chance to walk-on.
"I grew up loving KU and it had always been a dream of mine to play for the Javahaws." Mallory said.
“Coming out of high school the school offers you a lot of opportunities. So when I got this decision, had to make a decision. It's tough commuting, but I feel like it helps the team.”
Quarterback coach Dave Warner said he was impressed with the pose dishaboved by Mallory.
"You can watch him and tell that he is a leader and a real take-charge quarterback." Warner said "That's the kind of quarterback our team needs. He got an opportunity to play a lot in junior college and that
experience shows.
re is making good progress for the amount of time he has been here: Like almost everyone else at this time of year, he needs to be able to read and pass his training and passing. I'm anxious to see what he can do in scrimage situations."
Kansas junior Kyle Donohoe, who started six of 1) games last year, is the only returning quarterback from the 1987 roster.
