- 2 former Kansas football players win Super Bowl with Seattle Seahawks
LAWRENCE — Kansas football saw a pair of former players be a part of a Super Bowl winning organization on Sunday, when the Seattle Seahawks beat the New England Patriots .
Bryce Cabeldue and Logan Brown , offensive linemen — Cabeldue listed as a guard, and Brown a tackle — who finished their college careers with the Jayhawks in 2024, are with Seattle. Cabeldue was a sixth-round selection in the 2025 NFL Draft by Seattle, while a KU release detailed Brown spent the season on the team's practice squad. According to that release, Cabeldue, who appeared in five games during the season, was also placed on injured reserve in January.

"Cabeldue and Brown became the 20th and 21st Jayhawks to win a Super Bowl," the KU release said, "and the first since Chris Harris Jr. and Aqib Talib won Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos ."
Cabeldue spent his time in college entirely with Kansas , while Brown transferred in from Wisconsin during his. Following the 2024 season, Cabeldue was an honorable mention All-Big 12 Conference honoree while Brown made the second team. Both were significant presences for that Jayhawks position group, and important pieces to replace.
Kansas' offseason continues to look toward the 2026 season this upcoming fall, with the Jayhawks bringing in a number of transfers that'll look to reenergize this program. KU has gone 5-7 in back-to-back years in 2024 and 2025, after reaching bowl games in 2022 and 2023. Coach Lance Leipold and company have brought back Andy Kotelnicki as associate head coach, to help the offense improve and the program at large.
