University of Kansas Athletics - Jayhawks Enjoy KU Night at the K
KU senior linebacker Ben Heeney had the privilege of throwing out the ceremonial first pitch, while senior wide receiver Nick Harwell attempted to serve as his catcher.

Harwell said some fantastic forces also exist on that side of the ball. “It’s like ridiculous how much they’ve grown between last season and this season,” the receiver said of KU’s offensive skill players. “I can’t tell you whose gonna be the offensive star. But I can tell you there’ll be more points on the board.”
