MANHATTAN — Kansas State football added a commitment to its 2026 class by landing an Oklahoma wide receiver who picked the Wildcats over the Sooners.

Julius Wilson announced his commitment to the Wildcats on Sunday, Jan. 11. The 6-foot-4 wide receiver was previously committed to Oklahoma State but backed out after the firing of Mike Gundy and hiring of former North Texas coach Chad Morris.

The Owasso, Oklahoma, native is graded as a three-star receiver out of Owasso High School, who also held offers from Texas Tech, Tulsa, UAB and Towson at one point. He will be the third high school receiver to sign with the Wildcats, joining Kaprice Keith and Maxwell Lovett. The Wildcats also signed juco prospect Derrick Salley Jr. and have added commitments from Josh Manning (Missouri) and Izaiah Williams (Texas A&M) from the transfer portal.

Wilson finished his senior season as an all-district receiver, totaling 52 receptions, 907 yards and 12 touchdowns, averaging 17 yards per catch.

Wilson posted photos on X from his visit to Manhattan last week. He visited Oklahoma in recent days, but still decided to move north of the state border.

Wilson can make his signing with the Wildcats official on Feb. 4.
