adjustments. Eldridge Avery, a 6-foot-3, 255-pound senior, has been moved from tackle to left end, with senior David White, at 6-5, 270 pounds, at left tackle. Backing up White is junior-college transfer Tim Adams, who, at 6-5 and 240 pounds, is expected to provide high-quality death.
Defense
On the right side of the line will be senior Von Lacey, who checked in at 6-5 and 310 pounds. Lacey has been nicknamed the icebox by head coach Bob Valesente and is by far the largest player on the team. Next to him is vetered Teddy Newman, a 6-4, 245-pound senior who saw a lot of action last season.

The secondary is seeing some crucial changes. Senior Milt Garner, who started all but one game last year at cornerback, has been moved to strong safety — a spot left open by the graduation of Jamey Steinhauser.
Behind the line, one of the key positions, according to Valentee, is the middle linebacker spot. Mike Long, a 6-0, 200-pound junior, is listed at the top of the depth chart, but Valentee said redshirt freshman
The other linebackers will be veterans Rick Bredesen and Clayton. Bredesen, the top tackler for Kansas last season and fifth on the KU career tackling list with another season to go, has been moved from middle linebacker to outside linebacker to take advantage of his aggressiveness.
Curtis Moore should provide a challenge for the starting position.
"It's a lot more physical, because I have to take on linenen, but I like it better than at corner," Garner said of the move. But he is concerned with his size, or lack thereof. The 5-11, 195-pound senior will have to face
"Sometimes I'll take them on, and sometimes I'll use my quickness to get around them."
"the attitude is a desire to win and a desire not to be defeated," he said. "It's going to be tough (during the season), but we can't give up."
linemen who could weigh 100 pounds more than him.
Normore is at the strong safety position. The 6-1, 105-pound junior sees Kansas as his opportunity to average the losses incurred at Wichita State. The Shockers' season paralleled the Jayhawks' last year with both teams posting 3-8 records.
He said he saw a changing attitude in the defense — from what he saw here in the spring and what he found last year at Wichita State.
Normore fills the *pot* vacated by Wayne Ziegler, the hard-hitting free safety who ranks 18th on the Kansas all-time career list for tackles. But
"I'm not here to step into Wayne's shoes. I'm here to create my own," he said.
coming in after Ziegler doesn't bother Normore, who was named defensive newcomer after the spring drills.
Rounding out the secondary are cornerbacks Mike Fisher and Undra Lofton, Lofton hasn't reported back yet because of family and financial problems but is still listed at the top of the depth chart for the right cornerback position. Behind Lofton is Bill Sutter, who was ineligible last season under the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Proposition 48. The rule sets minimum academic requirements for incoming freshmen
Rich Reith will return as punter, with John Brehm, who switched back and forth from punter to wide receiver last season, as his backup.
