Last week was a big week for Jayden as he picked up 2 D1 offers from Air Force and Valparaiso. Jayden also holds offers from Howard University and Dayton. So far in 8 games this season Jayden has accounted for 43 tackles, 23 solo, 5 TFLs, 1 sack and 1 FR.
Jayden is freakishly athletic for his size and is very quick off the ball. He does a phenomenal job of using his hands to get by the blocker and cause chaos is the backfield. Jayden has a swim move that is very impressive and causes lots of trouble for players going against him. Jayden does a great job of putting pressure on the QB and he is also a very strong player who can deliver a big hit.
Jet Dineen Jet Dineen 5'11" | 180 lbs | ATH Free State | 2022 State KS : QB | Lawrence Free State HS | Class of 2022 | 5’11 | 180lbs
It was only a matter of time until Jet would land a D1 offer and his time came last week when Southeast Missouri State extended an offer to him. Jet has been putting up some huge numbers for Lawrence Free State this season. Through 8 games this year Jet has 2,166 total yards and 26 total touchdowns. Jet also gets it done on the defensive side of the ball where he has 50 tackles and 1 interception as well.
Jet comes from a very athletic family. His older brother Joe is a former KU standout who signed with the broncos and his other brother Jax is a FB at KSU. Jet’s film will show you that he might be one of the most physical QBs in the state of Kansas. He is a hard runner who often times will require multiple people to bring him down. Jet sees the field really well as a runner and does a great job of making people miss. Jet is also a solid DB. He plays with an impressive amount of physicality and is always seeking contact and looking to lower the hammer on somebody.

Last week the Junior received his first D1 offer coming from Eastern Kentucky University. In Jackson’s first year as a starter he has thrown for 1,651 yards, 14TD / 4 INT, 462 rushing yards and 4 touchdowns. In 8 games this season Jackson is averaging over 264 total yards per game.
The southpaw showcases tremendous accuracy and it’s evident given his 14:4 TD to INT ratio. Jackson has a quick trigger and can get the ball out quickly and accurately to his receivers. Jackson does a good job of reading the defense and leading his receivers to the ball. He also shows the ability to make strong throws on the run. Jackson will definitely be a player to keep your eyes on over the next couple of seasons.

KS
: QB | Maize HS | Class of 2023 | 6’2 | 170lbs
Avery is one of the mostly highly recruited players in the state of Kansas. The Junior is rated a 4 star by 247sports and has several D1 offers already. So it doesn’t really come as a surprise that he has received another offer. This time the offer comes from Missouri.
Avery is a dual threat QB with athleticism that translates to the basketball court as well. He flashes legitimate home run speed with a 40 in the 4.5 range. Avery displays a nice touch on his balls thrown downfield and with his speed and sense of pressure he’s also good at improvising and extending plays when they break down. With his height and athleticism Avery looks like he possesses ample amounts of potential.
Mason Ellis Mason Ellis 6'2" | 190 lbs | ATH Mulvane | 2022 State KS : ATH | Mulvane HS | Class of 2022 | 6’2 | 188lbs | 4.36 40yd
Mason who is currently a North Dakota State commit received his first FBS and P5 offer from Kansas University on Sunday 10/24. Mason now holds offers from North Dakota State, South Dakota, Kansas and several D2 schools. With Kansas offering it’ll be interesting to see if more schools reach out to the Bison commit.
Mason who is listed as an ATH on 247sports and Rivals plays QB and DB for Mulvane High School. He has elite speed that allows him to make plays on the ground and be a true dual threat quarterback. Mason does a great job of staying patient and allowing his receivers time to get open down field. He also does a good job of keeping his eyes downfield when he’s scrambling outside of the pocket. Mason also lets his presence be known on defensive as he is a hard hitting physical player.
