Former Kansas football star Tony Sands is one of the all-time great Jayhawks, breaking multiple records during his time in Lawrence.
Kansas football has had some great running backs since their first season in 1890, including Gale Sayers, John Riggins, June Henley, Tony Sands, and Pooka Williams. Sands is one of the guys that doesn’t get brought up as often as the rest; however, he’s one of the best of all time.
As a matter of fact, Sands had a record-breaking career at Kansas.
