Recruit Linkon Cure Enters Today's Announcement Date "Loving Everything About" K-State
In this story:
The day has finally arrived.
At 4 p.m. (CT) he is set to announce his college choice. The finalists are Texas A & M, Oregon, Kansas and Kansas State. Cure has said great things about all five programs.
Here's what he had to say about K-State during an interview last week with on3.com.
“I love everything about them. The biggest thing there is the culture and being around the program. That’s definitely something I noticed, guys that I will be around all the time if I choose Kansas State. I thought that was really important. The leadership there and the coaching staff are great. I really love everything about Kansas State. I love what coach Chris Klieman has done there. There’s a lot of guys around there that I respect and it’s a great place to be.”
Cure, the nation's No. 2 rated tight end, is ranked a five-star by most scouting services. The Wildcats have enlisted Johnson to help seal the deal.
Last year Cure caught 42 passes for 946 yards and 14 touchdowns as a junior at Goodland High School. A 6-foot-6, 220-pound prospect, he has skills that will help any top Division I program.
If he commits today, Cure will become the 12th high school verbal for the Wildcats.
