Up a few pounds and 2 percent body fat from the end of the 2014 season, Kansas University junior Montell Cozart on Monday was named the Jayhawks’ starting quarterback for 2015 by first-year coach David Beaty.

The announcement paved the way for Cozart, a 6-foot-2, 197-pound Bishop Miege graduate, to enter his second consecutive season as the Jayhawks’ starter, thus likely ending a six-year streak during which Kansas trotted out a different QB to start each season.

Unlike the first go ’round in 2014, when he was benched five games in, Cozart pledges to be a different player this season.
