On Friday, Kansas head coach Turner Gill announced that Jordan Webb would be the Jayhawks starting quarterback over Quinn Mecham.

Webb started a majority of Kansas' games last season and it looks like Gill is going with youth over tenure as the senior Mecham will back up the redshirt sophomore. Webb was expected to win the job, especially with freshman Brock Berglund missing all of spring camp and some of fall practices dealing with a legal issue.
