K-State football secured the commitment of Lincoln Cure, the highest-rated recruit that the Wildcats have ever received in the modern era. He is a five-star player on 247Sports and On3 and is a top-64 player in the country according to every recruiting service. He is rated the second best tight end in the country, and 247Sports ranks him as the number 26 player overall. This is a HUGE commitment for Chris Klieman’s Wildcats.

JM: It is very exciting to get a five-star rated football player. He seems very excited to come to Manhattan to play, releasing this recruitment video saying “I’m Home.” It seems that you may need an X account to view the video…

"When you know you know. You can't really explain the feeling but when you know you know. I had that feeling at K-State."

JM: Interesting that Cure mentioned Collin Klein twice in this clip. He remembers watching Klein as a kid in Bill Snyder Family Stadium. In the end, he spurned Klein and Texas A&M and chose K-State. Here is the announcement video.

JM: If you would have told me 10 years ago that K-State would beat out Oregon and Texas A&M for one of the best football players in the country, I might have called you nuts. Very exciting times for K-State football.

This reaction video to Cure’s highlights is pretty fun to watch and listen to..

JM: Cure’s height is a huge asset, especially against high school opposition, but he has a lot of speed and skills along with his size. He is going to be a great player for K-State.
