Jayhawks gain linebacker

By Staff     Dec 24, 2002

Kansas University has swayed junior college linebacker Gabe Toomey away from Iowa State.

Toomey, a 6-foot-4, 230-pound first-team NJCAA All-America linebacker from Iowa Central Community College, had committed to the Cyclones, but told Jon Kirby of Mo Kan Football and rivals.com that he switched to the Jayhawks after visiting Lawrence last weekend.

“He’s one of those coaches you love to play for,” Toomey said of KU’s Mark Mangino. “Coach Mangino and I have a great relationship. I have committed to the University of Kansas.”

Gabe’s brother, Zach, also will attend Kansas as a walk-on.
