Congratulations to Matt Barr for being named on this week’s list of gamebreakers for all of D1 Rugby by @goffrugbyreport after his performance against Missouri this past Saturday. Matt is listed with some of the best rugby players in all of college rugby. He is having surgery today to repair his broken collar bone, so let’s all show him some love for this very well deserved accolade. Get well soon, Barr-y! Much love! #ROCKCHALK #FAMILY

Week 🖐 Red Rope honors are being shared this week after strong performances by Matt Barr and Jonah Dolphino made it difficult to pick just one. Matt was making his presence felt in all facets of the game whether it was testing the opposition with hard punishing lines or creating mistakes with high-pressure defense. Unfortunately late in the match, he exited with what was later diagnosed as a broken collarbone. Matt has come such a long way in this sport despite facing early adversity and we are devastated to learn he will be facing the same adversities in the coming months. He is the definition of tough as nails, and we wish him a speedy recovery. Co-POTW Jonah Dolphino continued to do nothing but impress on both sides of the ball in his Collegiate debut. He cleaned up loose balls and broke the gain line to set up scoring opportunities and made a number of crucial must-have tackles in recovery defense. He has proven to be a valuable asset very early on in his time here and we are excited about what he brings to the table on and off the field. #ROCKCHALK #FAMILY

This one was for Buffy. Yesterday’s win over Missouri was dedicated to highly regarded alum Josh Hobart and his family. Josh recently lost his mother, Elizabeth “Buffy” Hobart, and the Jayhawks wore black arm bands to honor her. Our hearts are with Josh and his loved ones during this difficult time. Buffy spent her early career working in early childhood education and ended up finding her calling as a Parent Educator with Parents As Teachers working in the Kansas City, Missouri School District for the first few years and then in the Olathe Kansas School District for over 30 years. Donations may be made to the Growing Futures Early Education Center in Overland Park, KS.
