More commits on the horizon for Kansas State

Insider knowledge about Kansas State, available on our message board at KSO, is a prime source for top-notch Wildcats information. To kick things off, let’s take a look at who might be the next to join Kansas State’s impressive recruiting streak.

Within the last 10 days, the Wildcats have secured five commitments and are poised for more. Several official visitors are nearing decisions that could greatly benefit Chris Klieman and his team.

There’s a noticeable focus in K-State football recruiting on pursuing three players with connections to St. Louis. Quarterback Dillon Duff is already committed and has ties to two of the top prospects on K-State’s radar: safety Leo Almanza, now in Trophy Club, Texas, and offensive lineman Lucas Allgeyer.

As Almanza visited last weekend and has another visit lined up with a Big 12 rival this weekend, the question remains: where do the Wildcats stand with Almanza?

K-State is also actively targeting players who have committed to other programs.

Additionally, an eagerly awaited official visit in K-State football history will commence on Friday, featuring the arrival of five-star tight end Linkon Cure from Goodland. K-State will aim to secure his commitment in the face of strong competition.
