Another Jimbo Fisher-era player has found a new home for the 2024 college football season. Former Texas A&M starting center Bryce Foster is reportedly headed to Kansas to join the Jayhawks in the Big 12 conference under head coach Lance Leipold.
This offseason, new head coach Mike Elko, like most new coaching regimes, looked over years of film at every position group, and noted Foster had started at center for the program since his freshman season (2021).
As a high-four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class, Foster was a versatile athlete with elite blocking traits on film. His impressive athleticism also has shown up in the shot put. He recently earned a gold medal in his last competition. However, after it was announced that former Utah center Koliu’u Faaiu was transferring to Texas A&M, a potential change became more realistic.
Joining several other players, Foster was ultimately cut from the team in a surprising move to some, but let’s be clear: This young man is still very talented but may need a position change.
On paper, the Jayhawks’ starting offensive line is filled with juniors and seniors. Foster obviously adds depth at center and potentially guard, but he could compete for a starting spot this fall if he improves from his issues during the 2023 season, when he started 12 games at center.
NEW: Texas A&M transfer Bryce Foster is headed to Kansas.
Arguably the top center in the portal will report to #KUfball this weekend.
