Our Kansas State recruiting scoop moving forward will now be via a message board post at KSO and sponsored by our friends at MyPerfectFranchise.net. We thank them for their partnership and supporting the Wildcats and our site at On3.

We have documented many prospects committed elsewhere at the moment, most to Power Four programs, who are hearing from K-State. Which ones are the Wildcats moving the needle with and may visit Manhattan in the near future?

Though Kansas State is pursuing recruits that are pledged to other schools, don’t lose sight of the fact that the Wildcats are ripe for the picking, too. And schools are calling the Wildcats’ commits at the moment, specifically linebacker DJ Ackerson.

The 2026 class is not finished. K-State will add a few more. How many more? That is still to be determined at this point. But we know they want another wide receiver, and they surely will take another defensive tackle.

One of those will be in Manhattan for an official visit in November.
