[meangreen11]

Kansas football has given its, “Rock Chalk Rack,” of this week to quarterback Jason Bean, who just transferred into the program and was added to the roster recently. The award is a reward for an impressive showing in the weight room throughout the week. Trevor Wilson, Kwamie Lassiter and Jacobee Bryant won the award alongside Bean.

Matt Gildersleeve, the program’s strength and conditioning coach, recently explained how the award is given out. The explanation came in a video that was posted to the program’s Twitter account.

“Our lifting groups are all divided into racks and they lift with those racks all week,” Gildersleeve said. “We vote on Rack of the Day every day. And whoever gets the most Racks of the Day, that becomes the Rock Chalk Rack. Now, only those guys train on that rack. Nobody else. And the rest of the day when you walk in this facility, it’s roped off. Nobody else trains on that rack. You have to earn the right and the privilege to train on the Rock Chalk Rack. But those are your guys. Those are the guys that are pushing the program in the right direction.”
