The Kansas football team continued its recruiting momentum Thursday when it received a commitment from the Kansas City metro area.
Cartez Crook-Jones, a Rivals three-star defensive end from Grandview, gave an oral commitment to KU coach David Beaty to become the Jayhawks’ eighth pledge in the class of 2018.
“It feels great,” Crook-Jones told Randy Withers of JayhawkSlant.com. “Knowing I can get the burden off my chest of having the pressure of not knowing — that feeling of not knowing where you are going to be at. It just feels like home.”
Crook-Jones picked KU over an offer from Iowa State and interest from Kansas State, Missouri and Arkansas.
