It's been a wild few days for Kansas football walk-on Jared Casey.
From unexpectedly and improbably making the game-winning catch on a 2-point conversion to beat Texas, to watching a video of the moment posted to social media by his brother go viral all the way to NIL deals with Applebee's, car dealerships and others, Casey has quickly gone from anonymous to the limelight.
On Wednesday, at KU football's regularly scheduled player availability at the program's indoor facility, Casey talked with reporters about the aftermath and excitement of all of it.
In the video below, Casey breaks down:
• The catch
• The play
• The aftermath
• The NIL opportunities
• And much, much more...
