Les Miles just made his biggest recruiting splash as Kansas’ new head coach.
On Monday, Miles secured the commitment of Steven Parker, a 6-foot-4, 225-pound defensive end from South Oak Cliff in Dallas. Parker is a four-star Rivals recruit who’s ranked the 20th-best player at his position; he also was considering both Texas Tech and Nebraska.
This is an early recruiting win for new KU receivers coach Emmett Jones as well. Jones helped secure a commitment from Parker to Texas Tech in May before the defensive end reopened his recruitment following the Red Raiders’ offseason coaching changes.
