On this episode of “Hanni and the ‘Hawks”, Brian is joined by one of the most accomplished quarterbacks in Kansas football history, David Jaynes.
Jaynes looks back on his standout career at KU in the early 1970s, when he rewrote the Jayhawk record book and became one of the nation’s top quarterbacks. A 1973 All-American and fourth-place finisher in the Heisman Trophy voting, Jaynes finished his Kansas career with 5,132 passing yards and 35 touchdown passes.
He shares memories from his record-setting senior season and helping lead the Jayhawks to a 7-4-1 record and a trip to the Liberty Bowl.
Jaynes also reflects on what it meant to play college football so close to home after growing up in nearby Bonner Springs and the legacy of being one of the greatest quarterbacks ever to wear the Crimson and Blue.
