(9) Dick Gilman

Gilman played at Kansas from 1946-49. There’s not a lot out there on him, but we do know that he played QB in 1948 well enough to be named first team All-Big 7. His 18 career passing TDs puts him at 12th all-time at KU. He was a part of the 1947 team that went to the 1948 Orange Bowl, a KU team that didn’t lose until the bowl game against Georgia Tech.
