Dugan Arnett has covered the KU football team for the Journal-World and KUSports.com since July of 2008. A 2006 graduate of the University of Missouri School of Journalism, he grew up in Kansas City and attended Blue Springs South High School, home of the Jaguars (ROAR!). Prior to arriving at the Journal-World, he spent 18 months as an enterprise/high school sports reporter in Port Charlotte, Fla., where he covered everything from skeet shooting championships to push-up competitions.
His greatest moment on the job came in July of 2009, when he witnessed Jayhawks quarterback Todd Reesing go unselected during a dodgeball draft at Langston Hughes Elementary.
