Kansas Jayhawks center Hunter Dickinson has been widely regarded as one of the best players in college basketball over the past few years.

After starting his career with the Michigan Wolverines, Dickinson transferred to Kansas in hopes of competing for a national title under head coach Bill Self.

While the Jayhawks entered the season as the No. 1 team in the country, they were ultimately upset by the Arkansas Razorbacks in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

Dickinson and the Jayhawks are now back home watching March Madness from the stands. While the Kansas star witnesses the rest of the tournament on the sideline, he announced some exciting news.

Dickinson has partnered with Call of Duty, advertising the launch of Verdansk, set to be released by the video game company on April 3.

"Verdansk is coming back! Drop in with your squad on April 3rd," Dickinson said.
