BYU's Darius Lassiter and his brother, Kansas cornerback Kwinton Lassiter, will square off this weekend in Lawrence, Kan. It's a game the two brothers said will have special meaning in the wake of their father's death.
Brothers Darius and Kwinton Lassiter say the meeting between the Cougars and Jayhawks would have been special for their father. Kwamie Lassiter played at Kansas in the ‘90s before his NFL career.
Competition and family are still intertwined. And the Lassiter boys had this weekend’s game between BYU and Kansas circled for a special reason. “I just know he is smiling,” Darius Lassiter said. “It is something he wanted to see happen. We finally get to have it happen. It is just a big day for the family. Having two brothers compete and go at each other.”
“They had the same opportunity as any other school to recruit me after I entered the transfer portal,” Darius Lassiter said. “After you kind of don’t get that offer out of junior college, you kind of move on from wanting to be there.”
