About an hour and a half before the Oklahoma vs. Kansas football game, Jayhawk coach David Beaty stepped away from his team for a few minutes.
He walked outside the locker room and waited there for what could potentially be his future. As a handful of recruits walked down the tunnel, a reality set in for Mac Copeland. Much like Beaty’s future was in Copeland’s hands, the Wichita Collegiate senior’s path rested with a coach who has won three games in three seasons.
Copeland, a three-star offensive lineman per 247 sports, is set to sign with KU on Wednesday, and despite the Jayhawks recent irrelevance on the college football landscape, he is all in.
