On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine: Kansas State trending for 2024 IOL Navarro Schunke
Kansas State is trending to land Brandon (S.D.) Brandon Valley three-star interior offensive lineman Navarro Schunke, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine.
Wildcats recruiting insider Derek Young logged an expert prediction with a 60% confidence level that Kansas State will receive Schunke’s pledge. Kansas State has the overwhelming lead in his recruitment with a 97.6% chance.
Schunke is the nation’s No. 556 overall prospect the 2024 cycle according to the On3 Industry Ranking — a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 46 interior offensive lineman and No. 2 player from South Dakota.
Schunke does not currently have a publicly listed On3 NIL Valuation. The On3 NIL Valuation is the industry’s leading index that sets high school and college athletes’ projected annual value (PAV). The NIL valuation does not act as a tracker of the value of NIL deals an athlete has completed to date. It rather signifies an athlete’s value at a certain moment in time.

Kansas State building on 2024 recruiting class
The addition of Topeka (Kan.) Seaman three-star safety Callen Barta and Mount Vernon (Texas) three-star EDGE Boone Morris makes nine commitments for K-State. The class is No. 82 in the nation and No. 15 in the Big 12, according to the On3 Industry Team Recruiting Ranking.
Headlining the class is a trio of in-state pledges: Lyndon three-star offensive tackle Kaedin Massey, Shawnee Mill Valley three-star OT Gus Hawkins and Stilwell Blue Valley three-star running back John Price.
Other commits include Castle Rock (Co.) Douglas County three-star safety Jake Stonebraker, Erie (Co.) three-star quarterback Blake Barnett, Downington (Pa.) West three-star interior offensive lineman Ryan Howard and West Des Moines (Iowa) Dowling Catholic three-star IOL Kyle Rakers.
Wildcats trending for 4-star prospect
Kansas State is also now trending for what would become its highest-ranked commitment in Kansas City Liberty North four-star EDGE Jayshawn Ross.
Kansas State was not part of Ross’ top five schools in June, but he posted in August that he would be reopening his recruitment.
“I would like to thank all the schools who have been recruiting me,” Ross wrote. “I am both thankful and humbled by their recruitment. With that being said, my family and I would like to announce that I am re-opening my recruitment. I’m looking forward to finding the best place to continue my academic and athletic career.”
Now, the Wildcats are trending to land his commitment, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). He’s the nation’s No. 326 overall prospect and No. 31 pass rusher in the 2024 cycle. He too made a visit to K-State this past weekend.
