Having an explosive freshman season, Pooka Williams took a step back in his sophomore year. Now a junior, he is expected to once again be the key guy for Les Miles and this Kansas offense. Searching for more than three wins for the first time since 2009.

The third highest-rated prospect the Jayhawks have ever signed, Williams has lived up to the hype. His ability to be a weapon out of the backfield is the biggest threat to defenses, as Williams can make anybody miss in open spaces. If there is going to be one bright spot for Kansas this upcoming season, it will be Williams.
