Kansas State had never been a program with the highest recruits, but they are a program that knows how to take lower-star players and make them elite. However, things are changing with Chris Klieman at the helm.
Recruiting in all sports is so important and college football is no different and might even be the most important sport to recruit in. Coaches work tirelessly all year long to get high-power recruits that will fit in well with their program.
Kansas State has moved up the recruiting ranks since Klieman took over at Kansas State, but it can always be better. Klieman has found ways to bring in high-ranking recruits to the middle of Kansas and show them they can succeed as much as they could in a like an SEC or Big Ten school.
As news breaks for commits, targets, and flips, we’ll update this tracker.
