Kansas State Football making moves on recruiting trail

Kansas State football’s 2020 recruiting class is beginning to fill up with promising prospects during a recent strong run of recruiting by Chris Klieman and company.

In a move in the direction of the unknown for Kansas State football fans, good news and energy can be found on the recruiting trail during the summer months for the Wildcats.

Despite missing on some local Kansas talent, the Cats have been able to win their share of recruiting battles, landing multiple commitments in recent weeks strengthening what is shaping out to be a solid class for the Wildcats under first year head coach Chris Klieman.

With multiple recruits on the way for visits this summer and a big recruiting weekend scheduled for later this month, the Wildcats strong run on the recruiting trail certainly doesn’t appear to be over just yet.

In just the past few weeks, the Cats have landed multiple prospects they likely don’t land under the previous regime, including defensive lineman Ronald Triplette and linebacker Jeremiah Harris, both currently from the Houston area.

Under the previous regime, K-State would often pull off and divert attention elsewhere when a prospect received attention from other schools. Both Harris and Tripplette had other options, but were won over by the Cats.

Demarquese Hayes of Waco, Texas is a quick linebacker prospect that in a conference that loves to pass the football, Hayes could prove to be valuable and a productive prospect at linebacker.

Also now in the fold are local Kansas products in McPherson athlete Cody Shufflebean and Gardner lineman Taylor Warner. Shufflebean, who had offers from schools like Wisconsin, Virginia Tech and Colorado among others, appears likely plays defensive end for the Cats, but could also find his way to tight end while Warner appears likely target towards defensive tackle.
