Lance Quinn made the KU coaches work for it. The #1 cornerback in the country, Quinn is basically a clone of last season's top signee, Mark Higgins. Quinn visited Lawrence early in the season, for their Week 7 victory over Florida, but wasn't ready to commit at that time. Since then, it has been a season long battle between KU, Oregon, Wyoming and New Mexico State, with KU leading the way until a late-season visit to Eugene gave the Ducks the edge. KU was able to convine Quinn during the offseason though, and he's now a Jayhawk. Quinn excels with top-end speed, good lateral movement and acceleration, solid coverage skills, and a surpising ability to take the right angle to the ball carrier. Quinn, like Higgins, will move to strong safety, and will pair with Higgins once the current starters graduate in a couple of years.
Quinn will redshirt next season while players in front of him finish their eligibility. He chose KU over Oregon, Wyoming and New Mexico State. |
