It has been a horrific offseason for college football players around the country and it only continued after a Kansas redshirt freshman was arrested by Lawrence police on suspicion of domestic battery and kidnapping, per Jesse Newell of The Kansas City Star.
Jayhawks linebacker Alonso Person has since been suspended indefinitely by first-year head coach Lance Leipold and has yet to appear in any of the team’s eight preseason practices.
Person is currently being held without bond.
“Any allegations of this magnitude are not taken lightly,” Leipold told the Star, “and we will continue to gather the facts to determine the next appropriate steps.”
Person, a 6-foot-3 linebacker from Harbor City, California, last played during his senior season at Narbonne High School in 2019, when he recorded 44 total tackles (27 solo), one sack, and two interceptions .
