It appears Kansas coach David Beaty has turned Saturday’s 24-21 upset over Texas into immediate momentum on the recruiting trail.
Peyton Bender, a 6-foot-1 quarterback from Itawamba (Miss.) CC, verbally committed to KU after a campus visit this weekend, according to JayhawkSlant.com.
“I’m just really excited for the opportunity and it is a good fit for me,” Bender told JayhawkSlant. “I think I can go in and compete and hope for some playing time.”
Bender, who was ranked by Rivals as the 25th-best pro-style quarterback in the class of 2014, originally committed to Washington State.
