Top 2025 recruit Brandie Harrod commits to Kansas State

Top 2025 recruit Brandie Harrod has committed to the Kansas State Wildcats, she told On3. Harrod was originally committed to Auburn, but reopened her recruitment after a coaching change. 

Harrod was considering  Mississippi State, Clemson, Colorado, Georgia, Utah, Oklahoma State and Florida State in her original recruitment, but Kansas State really stuck out. 

“I’ve been really liking the coaches and the team,” Harrod told On3. “It was kind of easy, but at the same time, I had to get back to where we were before I committed.”

Harrod, a 6-foot guard from Oklahoma City (Oklahoma) Millwood High School has had strong relationships with the staff for years, which played a role in her decision. 

“They were one of my first Power 5 offers, so I was able to talk to them for a long time,” Harrod said. “I went to visit back in 2023 and I just loved their community and the coaches as soon as I got there.”

Another factor that impacted Harrod’s decision was Kansas State’s style of play and their overall success. 

“I like how they play fast,” Harrod said. “One of their girls, I feel like our play style is very similar, and she’s been able to get up and down the court. She’s going to be gone next year, so I feel like I’ll fill that spot.”

Harrod is excited to start focusing her energy on the Wildcats and watching their Sweet Sixteen matchup against USC tonight. Kansas State is getting a two-way player in Harrod that plays hard on defense. 

“I’m definitely a good defensive player,” Harrod said in a previous interview. “I’ll get down, get a bucket and then get right back on defense. I’m a fast-paced type of player. Before I go to college, I want to get my 3-point shot more consistent.”
