Former Jayhawks Bryce Cabeldue, Logan Brown Earn Super Bowl Rings with Seahawks

For the first time in a decade, a pair of former Kansas football players can call themselves Super Bowl champions.

Former Jayhawk offensive linemen Bryce Cabeldue and Logan Brown earned Super Bowl LX (60) rings Sunday night as the Seattle Seahawks defeated the New England Patriots 29-13 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California. The title marks the first time since 2016 that former Kansas players have won a Super Bowl, when Aqib Talib and Chris Harris Jr. captured Super Bowl 50 with the Denver Broncos.

Cabeldue and Brown became the 20th and 21st Jayhawks in program history to win a Super Bowl.

Cabeldue, a sixth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, was selected No. 192 overall by Seattle and signed a four-year rookie contract through the 2028 season. He appeared in eight regular-season games during his rookie year, logging 24 offensive snaps and 32 on special teams. He did not allow a sack and posted a 73.4 overall grade from Pro Football Focus.

His season was cut short when he was placed on injured reserve Jan. 23 prior to the NFC Championship Game. Brown, meanwhile, spent the 2025-26 season on Seattle’s practice squad and was not elevated for the Super Bowl. He did not appear in a regular-season game.

Despite not playing in the championship, both players earned rings as members of the Seahawks organization. Seattle secured the NFC’s top seed, earned a first-round bye and rolled through the postseason with wins over the San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams before defeating New England in the Super Bowl.

Both linemen were key pieces during their time at Kansas.

Cabeldue started 47 games across five seasons in Lawrence, earning All-Big 12 honorable mention honors in 2024 after shifting from right tackle to left tackle. Brown, who transferred from Wisconsin, started 11 games at right tackle in 2024 opposite Cabeldue and earned second-team All-Big 12 honors.

Together, they anchored an offensive line that powered Kansas to an average of 211.4 rushing yards per game in 2024 while allowing just 10 sacks. Their blocking helped pave the way for Devin Neal to rewrite portions of the Kansas record book and contributed to back-to-back bowl appearances.

In the new era of Kansas football, led by head coach Lance Leipold, there have been more opportunities in the NFL. Now, more NFL success is on the table with Brown and Cabeldue; they add Super Bowl champions to their résumés.
