Will Jalon Daniels represent Kansas at Big 12 Media Days 2024? Exploring Jayhawks attendees for Las Vegas event

Kansas Jayhawks quarterback Jalon Daniels will be in Las Vegas for the Big 12 media days. Daniels will be one of four Kansas players in the event along with their coach Lance Leipold.

The event is a time media to talk to player and coaches for stories and to preview the upcoming season. Usually, most teams send their coach, their quarterback and another player or two.

Entering 2024, Leipold has confidence that Daniels will remain healthy and help lead the offense.

“He's gone through so much,” Leipold said, via Kansas.Rivals. “I do feel the tide's going to turn and for everything and how he represents our program through the good and really, I think he will be rewarded for that type of demeanor. And I'm looking forward to seeing number 6 out there leading the offense again.”

Daniels is +3500 to win the Heisman Trophy, according to DraftKings.
