Kansas State Football: Five things to watch vs South Dakota
By Chris Taylor
The receivers for the Wildcats are unproven so far.
Justin Pringle is gone, but the guys returning from last season are no slouches. There are many who believe that this group is fairly weak, but I believe if you pay attention, you will see that the Wildcats will be just fine.
Isaiah Zuber, Dalton Schoen, and Zach Reuter are all fine targets for either quarterback. Isaiah Harris, Chabastin Taylor, and Landry Weber all have a chance to contribute as well. In fact, Harris is my guy to watch during the game. He may be a diamond in the rough.
Zuber leads the way. He was the favorite target last season, catching 51 passes for 510 yards and four touchdowns.
Schoen caught 23 passes for 470 yards and three touchdowns. Schoen is more of a deep route guy, where Zuber is more of a possession receiver.
Harris only had five receptions last year, but he gained 138 yards from them and found the end zone once.
None of these numbers are really impressive, then again, there wasn’t a whole lot of passing last season either. It will be interesting to see how much Kansas State Football misses Byron Pringle and Dominique Heath, who transferred during the offseason.
