Shows off dual-threat ability Bean completed 12 of 23 passes for 189 yards while rushing for 102 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries in Friday's 49-22 loss at Coastal Carolina.

Impact Bean showed off his speed on touchdown runs of 34 and 46 yards as he racked up a team-leading 102 rushing yards. Through two games, he has 28 rushing attempts which suggests that he could be a reliable fantasy option as he has accounted for a pair of scores in each of his first two games with the Jayhawks. Bean and Kansas will host Baylor in their Big 12 opener next week.

Leads Kansas to rare victory Bean completed 17 of 26 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns while rushing for 54 yards on 15 carries in Friday's 17-14 win over South Dakota.

Impact Bean provided a much needed charge to the Kansas offense as the Jayhawks broke a 13-game losing streak and provided new coach Lance Leipold with his first win. It will get much tougher for the team next week when they play at Coastal Carolina on Friday Night.

Receives starting nod Bean will start the season opener against South Dakota on Friday night.

Impact Bean was initially listed as a co-starter with Miles Kendrick and Jalon Daniels but it appears the North Texas transfer has beaten the competition out for the top job. Bean combined for 1,777 total yards and 19 touchdowns in eight games for the Green Machine in 2020 and has been complemented during fall camp for his speed and overall improvement with a new playbook. It's unclear if the team has any additional plans for Kendrick and Daniels after the two were initially listed as co-starters in the beginning of the week.

The North Texas transfer completed 79-of-145 passes for 1,131 yards and a 14:5 TD:INT last season. It's unclear how Kansas intends to split reps between their three shot-callers.
