Washburn University football coach Craig Schurig has never had to worry about firing up linebacker Jacob Anderson for a practice or game since the former Topeka High standout stepped on campus.
"At first he was like a special teams phenom,'' Schurig said. "He was the best special teams player you could possibly have and then he made himself into a really good inside linebacker with his fire, his speed, his enthusiasm. He doesn't have an off switch.''

That figures to be especially true this fall as the 5-foot-10, 200-pound six-year senior sets his sights on ending his collegiate career with a bang, beginning with next Thursday night's season-opener at Lincoln.
"When our season got canceled in 2020 it was a really weird feeling knowing we wouldn't play for a year and there wasn't a doubt in my mind that I was going to come back and finish my career off the right way and give it everything I have one last season and get a senior day, get my last fall camp, get my last home game,'' Anderson said.
"I just wanted to finish everything off the right way. There was no doubt that I wanted to do that.''

Brothers Brooks and Brent Peavler are extremely close, and football has made them a lot closer ... literally.
Not only are the former Hayden stars the only brothers on the Washburn University roster, but they both play the same position, inside linebacker, with Brooks a senior starter and Brent one of his top backups.
It's a situation that works for the Peavlers.

"We get along really well,'' said Brooks a 6-foot-2, 235-pound six-year senior. "He's one of my best friends I'd say. We're are very competitive, always kind of talking smack on each other, but he knows and I know I've got two years on him, I've just got more experience, and I'll try to help him out whenever I can.
"He's pretty independant, but if he needs something he can come ask me for anything and especially in football, asking about plays and what not.''

Teagan Tamiya, a redshirt freshman infielder for Washburn University, has never had it easy in baseball.
Tamiya stands at around 5-foot-5 and weighs in at 120 pounds, but luckily in the sport of baseball, there aren’t any height or weight restrictions.
Tamiya told TopSports.news that he's had some setbacks in his journey, but said, "Size does not limit your effort and passion for the game.”
Teagan Tamiya, who grew up in Hawaii, is a redshirt infielder for the Washburn University baseball team.
