Last year the Sunflower State only had nine players sign DI scholarships. The 2014 class looks to top the double digit mark this year. NUC alum Peyton Newell leads the way for Kansas using his brute strength to demolish opponents. He is followed by athletic vertical threat Deandre Goolsby. Rounding out the top three is huge offensive guard Braden Smith a true mauler. The Kansas state rankings will be updated two more times before signing day 2014.
