LAWRENCE — Kansas basketball announced Tuesday that Corbin Allen has signed to play in college for the Jayhawks.

Allen, a combo guard, joins KU’s 2025 recruiting class and will be a freshman next season. He played in high school at Oak Park High School in Kansas City, Missouri. Listed by Kansas at 6-foot-6 and 175 pounds, he will make his way to KU after helping his team to a Class 6 state championship in Missouri this past season.

“Corbin will be a nice addition to our program,” Kansas coach Bill Self said in a release. “He had a great high school career at Oak Park and has been well coached by our own Kansas alum Sherron Collins. We feel Corbin can be a contributor in time and we look forward to helping him develop and watching his progress.”

Allen won’t be the only newcomer on Kansas’ roster next season. There are incoming freshmen in Darryn Peterson and Samis Calderon, as well as incoming transfers in Melvin Council Jr. (St. Bonaventure), Jayden Dawson (Loyola Chicago) and Tre White (Illinois). Bryson Tiller initially signed with the 2025 recruiting class, before enrolling early and redshirting.

Kansas is coming off of a disappointing season in which it finished 21-13 overall and exited the Big 12 Conference tournament with a loss in the quarterfinals, before later exiting the NCAA tournament with a loss in the round of 64. The Jayhawks haven’t reached the second weekend of the NCAA tournament since the national championship run in 2022. Time will tell if next season’s team, led by a high-profile recruit in Peterson and a returning forward in Flory Bidunga, can enjoy the level of success fans have often seen in Lawrence during Self’s tenure.
