Kansas center Bryce Foster will be back with the Jayhawks for the 2025 season.
He posted a picture from one of KU’s 2024 games at Arrowhead Stadium on social media Thursday afternoon with the caption, “One more ride.”
The subject of some NFL Draft buzz after he started all 12 games for the Jayhawks with a team-high 764 snaps, finishing as the highest-graded center in the Big 12 on Pro Football Focus, Foster will instead anchor KU’s offensive line once again as a fifth-year senior in 2025. He’ll continue to snap the ball to quarterback Jalon Daniels, who also decided to return to KU rather than going elsewhere.
Foster, who was also a second-team All-Big 12 selection by both conference coaches and the AP, was a late-summer transfer addition from Texas A&M.
He’ll now have the chance to go through a full offseason for the first time as a Jayhawk, although the 6-foot-5, 330-pound center is also a thrower on the track and field team. Foster said prior to the start of the season that he would be able to attend both teams’ practices in the spring because football practices in the morning and track in the afternoon; that was not the case at A&M, where they overlapped in the afternoon.
He is eligible for a fifth year of football because after starting 12 games for the Aggies as a freshman in 2021, he only played four games in 2022 due to a season-ending injury and redshirted.
Foster will serve as one of three returning players with starting experience on the line, along with guard Kobe Baynes and tackle Calvin Clements. The Jayhawks have also gone after numerous offensive linemen in the transfer portal, including one center, Tyler Mercer of North Texas.
