The Kansas State Wildcats athletic department recently announced a new addition to the football schedule for 2029.
The Wildcats will play host to Sam Houston State Bearkats Sept. 19 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. This is the third time the Wildcats will host the Bearkats.
K-State is currently gearing up for its first season under coach Collin Klein. He is a former star quarterback for the program and getting his first chance as the man in charge. Klein spent the last two seasons at the offensive coordinator for the Texas A & M Aggies.
The Wildcats, who were 6-6 last season, were picked to finish eighth in the Big 12 conference by the media. They are led by quarterback Avery Johnson, who is entering his third season as the starter.
THREE PLAYERS MAKE 'WATCH' LISTS
They were three of the Kansas State Wildcats chosen to represent the school at Big 12 Media Days last month in Frisco, Texas, so naturally Joe Jackson, Avery Johnson and John Pastore are getting some preseason love.
All three made the cut for the national award "Watch" list at their respective positions. A senior quarterback, Johnson and Jackson (running back) were both on the Maxwell Award list. The honor is given annually to the nation's most outstanding player. Pastore was on the Outland Trophy list, which is reserved for the best offensive lineman in the country.
EX-WILDCATS BASKETBALL PLAYER HAS NEW HOME
Former Wildcats guard CJ Jones was recently granted a fifth year of eligibility.
On late Saturday night, he announced what he planned to do with it. Jones plans to continue his playing career at Pacific. Jones averaged 4.7 points in 64 games over two seasons for the Wildcats. He joins a Pacific team that finished 9-24 last year in the West Coast conference. This is Jones' third stop after beginning his collegiate career at University of Illinois-Chicago.
