The Mount Rushmore of K-State Offensive Linemen

The Mount Rushmore of K-State Offensive Linemen

K-State has a long history of great offensive linemen since the early 1990s. Barrett Brooks kicked off a streak of Wildcat linemen drafted into the NFL when the Philadelphia Eagles drafted him in the second round in 1995. From 1995 to 2019, K-State had eight offensive linemen drafted, an average of one every three years.

Here we go. Henry Childs Childs…

From The Couch – Dylan Edwards Commits. Is Avery Johnson Next?

Dylan Edwards committed to K-State on Thursday, choosing the Wildcats over Oklahoma and Nebraska. If you would have asked me 30 years ago if K-State would ever have a high profile recruit choose K-State over Oklahoma and Nebraska, I would have called you crazy. Chris Klieman and company are closing up the state of Kansas just like Bill Snyder did back in the day and I love it. Good things are happening around this football program. Here’s the latest…. JM:…

The Mount Rushmore Of K-State Wide Receivers

The Mount Rushmore Of K-State Wide Receivers

Last week I wrote about the Mount Rushmore of K-State running backs. I thought I would get a little more push-back than I did, but most people seemed to agree with my picks. That may not be the case this week with the wide receivers. As with the running backs, two of my picks are likely unanimous among K-State fans. The other two may result in some discussion, if not an argument. Regardless, here is who I choose as the…
