Remember when the Kansas State Wildcats coach Collin Klein extended an offer to Butler County Community College defensive lineman Jekai Lee last month? 

He was sort of an unknown on the recruiting circuit but now is getting more attention. Lee has worked his way up to a three-star recruit and is the No. 2 defensive lineman in the nation according to 247 Sports. 

He recently took time to boast about his accomplishments on social media. 

The 6-foot-6, 287-pound Lee already has offers from the Mississippi State Bulldogs, West Virginia Mountainers and Virginia Tech Hokies. It just seems like the Wildcats were getting in on the ground floor. 

Lee visited Manhattan Sept. 25. 

Here are some other players the Wildcats have offered: 

Mason Pearsall-Brown, Wide receiver

A standout at Hough (N.C) High School, he is rated as a four-star recruit by 247 Sports. A member of the 2029, he still has plenty of time to decide where he wants to attends school. He already has offers from Miami and Indiana. 

Quinn Jacobs, Defensive Line 

A standout out of Blessed Trinity Catholic (Ga.) High School, he is rated as a three-star prospect by 247 Sports. 

Dailon Denkins, Cornerback

The 6-foot-1, 185-pound Denkins is a standout at Fort Bend (Texas) High School. He is rated a four-star recruit by 247 Sports.
