A Closer Look at Linebacker Ben Heeney

Heeney finished his career as a Jayhawk with 335 total tackles, which is eighth best in Kansas University history, and was named to the All-Big 12 First Team in 2014.

With Rookie Mini-Camp set to begin today, let’s get to know the Overland Park, Kan., native a little better.

HIS PRODUCTION WAS NOTICED

During his senior campaign in 2014, Heeney started all 12 games for Kansas, notching 125 total tackles, 1.5 sacks, and 12.0 tackles for loss.

While the team didn’t find a lot of success in the win column, Heeney’s productivity and effort didn’t go unnoticed as he earned a plethora of awards, including All-Big 12 First Team, Honorable Mention Big 12 Defensive Player of the Year and Fourth-Team All-America (Phil Steele Magazine).
