Kansas football defensive lineman and team captain Daniel Wise will return for his senior season after considering an early jump to the NFL.
Wise, a 6-foot-3, 290-pound tackle from Lewisville, Texas, posted the words “Unfinished Business” in a Tweet on Wednesday night. A KU spokesperson later said that Wise had confirmed to the team he was coming back.
After posting 53 tackles and seven sacks in 2017, Wise was an all-Big 12 first-team selection by the coaches.
The announcement is big news for KU’s defense, which lost junior defensive end Dorance Armstrong last week when he declared for the pros.
