Hakeem Adeniji has been the cornerstone of the Kansas football offense since his freshman season back in 2016. Listed at six-foot-four and 250 pounds, Adeniji was unrated and had no other offers other than Kansas according to Rivals.
The Garland Texas native was flying completely under the radar, but he’d prove to be a diamond in the rough. Adeniji started all 12 games for the Jayhawks as a freshman, earning an All-Big 12 honorable mention at the end of the season. He had an identical season in 2017, starting all 12 games and earning an All-Big 12 honorable mention again.
