Even with football starting in less than a month, Kansas State is still on the recruiting trail.
All the way up to 2029 class prospects. The latest offer was for tight end Cash Denney, who currently attends Blue Springs South High School in Blue Springs, MO. Denney received the offer from inside wide receivers coach Josh Buford. Kansas State is the first program to offer him so far.
"After a great conversation with Coach Buford, I’m blessed to receive my first D1 offer from the University of Kansas State," Denney tweeted.

It will be a while until the Wildcats need to evaluate that position, but looking for depth or potential stars is essential. Tight end is expected to be a big part of the offense's game plan this upcoming season, with Garrett Oakley projected for another standout year and Linkon Cure set to get more reps.
