  • Nik McMillan commits to Kansas after 2025 All‑MAC season with Buffalo.
  • He posted 62 catches for 981 yards in 2025 and earned first‑team All‑MAC.
  • McMillan has one season of eligibility and becomes KU's 12th transfer.

Former Buffalo wide receiver Nik McMillan has committed to the Kansas Jayhawks, he announced on social media Thursday morning.

He has one season of college football eligibility remaining but could be granted another after missing much of the 2024 season due to injury.

McMillian is a big pickup for the Jayhawks. He earned first-team All-MAC honors after a stellar 2025 campaign. He finished with 62 catches for 981 yards and three touchdowns, compiling 100 receiving yards or more in each of his last six games.

He will help replace the production lost by the graduation of Jayhawks wideouts Emmanuel Henderson Jr., Levi Wentz and Bryson Canty.

The Buffalo native was three-star recruit coming out of high school. At that time he picked Buffalo over UMass, Central Michigan and other schools.

He is the 12th transfer KU has added from the transfer portal.
