The Wildcat Roundup

The Kansas State Wildcats, with a record of 2-3 overall and 1-1 in conference play, are coming off their first Big 12 win of the season after defeating the UCF Knights 34-20 on Saturday afternoon. They will now focus on their upcoming game against the Baylor Bears, scheduled for Saturday afternoon in Waco.

The Wildcats' coaching and recruiting staff have been active on the recruiting trail, extending scholarship offers to several prospects in recent days. I reached out to some of these prospects to get their reactions to receiving an offer from K-State, as well as their views about the program.

Brown added his latest offer from the Wildcats on Wednesday, September 24, after speaking with Director of Player Personnel and Assistant General Manager Dimitri Donald. "Receiving the offer from Kansas State was an amazing feeling, and it was a blessing to know a program like that believes in me and sees me as a fit for what they're building, " Brown said. He continued, "My conversation with Coach Donald was really genuine — he broke down what they like about my game, how I could fit into their program, and made it clear they see me as someone who could make an impact there. I made sure to thank him and let him know how much I appreciated it."

Brown told me he knows a little about the Wildcats program and is impressed by what he has heard as well. "They have a strong football tradition, and they're known for playing tough, physical football in the Big 12. I respect the way they compete year after year, and they've developed a lot of players who've gone on to the next level. Everything I've seen and heard so far has impressed me."

He also has offers from Miami, Ohio, Howard, Georgia State, Toledo, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pittsburgh.

Walker received an offer from the Wildcats on Thursday, September 25, after a phone call with the recruiting staff. On that call was Director of Recruiting Taylor Braet, Assistant Director of Scouting Zac Cox, and Donald.

"I received a call from Coach Cox. Coach Donald and Coach Braet were in it as well, and they offered me. I felt blessed and grateful to receive an offer from KSU. It makes me want to keep working even harder. They have produced some really good running backs, like Deuce Vaughn, and I like how they use their backs a lot in the offense, " Walker said.
