Kansas Football Unveils 2026 Depth Chart Ahead of Season Opener

The chart reveals key players, special teams roles, and the upcoming matchup with Long Island.

Kansas University has unveiled its inaugural depth chart for the 2026 football season, a milestone that sets the stage for the upcoming campaign.

The chart places quarterback Isaiah Marshall at the helm of the offense, while running back Dylan Edwards and wide receiver Tate Nagy are slated to feature prominently in the new-look attack.

Defensive Frontiers

On the defensive side, veterans Leroy Harris III and Blake Herold headline a unit that promises depth and versatility.

Special Teams Spotlight

Special teams will be anchored by kickoff specialist Dane Efird, with Dylan Edwards expected to handle return duties, adding a dynamic element to field position battles.

The depth chart was finalized ahead of fall camp in Lawrence this August, giving coaches a first glimpse of how the roster will mesh as the season approaches.

The first test will come on Friday evening when the Jayhawks open the season against Long Island at 7 p.m., a matchup that will be closely watched as a barometer for the team’s progress.

The announcement was chronicled by Henry Greenstein, sports editor of the Lawrence Journal‑World, who provided insight into the chart’s implications for the program.
