LAWRENCE — Kansas football released its depth chart Monday, ahead of its regular season opener Friday at home against LIU.

As previously unveiled, redshirt sophomore Isaiah Marshall is the starting quarterback and redshirt junior Cole Ballard is his backup. At running back, redshirt junior Dylan Edwards and junior Yasin Willis are the two primary options. Elsewhere on the roster , junior Leroy Harris III is a starter at defensive end and junior Jalen Todd is a starter at cornerback.
