Kansas lands commitment from Texas A&M OL transfer Bryce Foster

Kansas just scored a major transfer portal victory, landing a commitment from former Texas A&M offensive lineman Bryce Foster.

Jayhawk Slant had the news, tweeting out Foster’s commitment: “BREAKING: Bryce Foster is committed to KU and plans to arrive in Lawrence on Sunday he tells Jayhawk Slant.”

This is a massive scoop for Kansas and Lance Leipold, as Foster was a starting center for Texas A&M each of the past three years. He started all 12 games as a freshman in 2021, earning All-American honors.

Foster was the starting center for the first four games of the 2022 season, before he was unfortunately lost for the year with an injury. He bounced back to start all 12 games he played in last season, though, while missing one with an injury.

Prior to enrolling at Texas A&M, Bryce Foster was ranked as a four-star recruit and the No. 2 interior offensive lineman in the country in the class of 2021, according to the On3 Industry rankings.

National folks are already high on Kansas as they battle in the new-look Big 12, but this addition should only further confirm those expectations. Our own Andy Staples already declared a pretty high ceiling for Kansas in 2024.

Andy Staples: Kansas can make CFP

Heading into a 2024 season with a great roster, terrific coach and wide-open Big 12, Kansas football has a chance for a historic and special season, according to On3’s Andy Staples.

Staples began his positive spin by looking at a very manageable KU schedule:

“I actually like the non-conference. At Illinois, I think Kansas is going to be favored in that game. The UNLV game might be one of the more fun offensive matchups we’re going to see all season. Obviously, the Sunflower Showdown is going to be huge, but Kansas does not have to play Utah, does not have to play Oklahoma State. That’s a nice draw.”

With that friendly slate plus what’s in place in Lawrence, Andy Staples is dreaming big for the Jayhawks.

“I’m going to go ceiling: CFP. Because if Jalon Daniels is healthy, they’re a CFP contender because they’re a contender for the Big 12 title. They got a great draw.”

Even with the unknown of a superstar player in Daniels, who’s battled myriad injuries throughout his career, Staples still placed Kansas’ floor as a solid bowl team: “I can’t believe I’m saying this about Kansas: the floor is seven wins. The worst is seven wins.”
