8A / SPORTS / MONDAY, DECEMBER 6, 2010 / THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN / KANSAN.COM FOOTBALL Offseason overhaul not drastic as expected BY KORY CARPENTER kcarpenter@kansan.com Parish The list of players leaving the Kansas football program wasn't as long as once rumored. Defensive tackle Darius Parish will Murphy High school seniors Dylan Admire and Darrian Miller will be arriving in Lawrence in January after graduating early. Both players signed their Letters of Intent and will be eligible to compete in Spring practices. Admire, an offensive Coach Turner Gill pats senior cornerback Chris Harris on the head before being recognized during senior day before the game on Nov. 25. Twenty-one seniors were recognized before their last game at Memorial Stadium. Mike Gunnoe/KANSAN FILE PHOTO transferring, while fullback Stephen Foster and safety Ryan Murphy will be graduating in the summer. Turner Gill announced at Friday's press conference. linemen from Blue Valley West, is expected to be named first-team All-State for the second consecutive season. "Dylan has all the tools needed to develop into a solid football player here at the University of Kansas." Gill told kuathletics.com on Friday. Weighing only 265 pounds, look for Admire to put on weight this offseason to compete for playing time in 2011. Darrian Miller is the nation's 23rd best running back according to Rivals.com, and is expected to compete for carries as early as next season. Miller ran for Opurum 2,226 yards and 30 touchdowns this past season for Blue Springs high school. He will be in a tough running back battle with incumbent James Sims as well as Brandon Bourbon, who redshirted this season but is expected to see the field for the Jayhawks in 2011. Position changes were a common theme for Kansas this season, as former running back Toben Opurum eventually landed at defensive end, grabbing a sack to go along with his 21 tackles. Gill was confident in Opurum's potential on defense and he is McDougald with Opurum across the defensive line. expected to start next season. The staff is recruiting defensive ends heavily as they fill out the 2011 class, so expect freshmen to get immediate playing time Former wide receiver Bradley McDougald, who was recruited as a safety by traditional power Ohio State among others. returned to safety to notch 16 tackles on the year. McDougald will also stay on defense, and will most likely start next season alongside Keeston Terry at safety. McDougald's departure from the receiving corps opened up a spot for former quarterback Kale Pick, who switched to receiver late in the year after being buried on the quarterback depth chart. Pick saw limited action, catching only three balls for 18 yards, but any production from him going forward should be seen as a bonus for the staff. Pick was rumored as a possible transfer candidate, but it now looks like he'll battle it out with receivers for playing time heading into spring practices. Linebacker Huldon Tharp will return to the field in 2011 after missing all of 2010 with a foot injury. Tharp's injury was a huge blow to an already thin linebacking corps for the Jayhawks. With the off-season just beginning and the annual spring game over four months away, there's still plenty of time for things to change at the Anderson Family Football Complex as Gill continues to evaluate his players and coaches after a rough first year on the job. - Edited by Tim Dwyer KANSANCLASSIFIEDS housing for sale announcements ... - jobs ... 785-864-4358 HAWKCHALK.COM CLASSIFIEDS@KANSAN.COM 3.2 cuft, compact fridge for $50.00 Height 2'9" and width 1'6".
