LAWRENCE (KSNT) - It felt like a steal for KU football.
The Jayhawks lost Jordan Peterson, their former defensive backs coach, to an SEC school. Without leaving much time for panic, they hired an NFL assistant.
D.K. McDonald comes to KU as the co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach after serving as the defensive backs coach for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023.
He says the opportunity to work with Lance Leipold and take over the responsibility of coaching KU's secondary was too good to pass up.
