Kansas State adds Nebraska LB Sawyer Schilke
Kansas State continues to stay hot on the recruiting trail. Kearney, Nebraska linebacker Sawyer Schilke has committed to K-State.
Schilke did not hold his offer from the Wildcats for long. The Nebraska native was offered at the Kansas State camp on June 7th. However, he had been waiting on the offer from Kansas State. With a long list of linebackers visiting K-State, Schilke jumped the line and announced his commitment.
The rising senior was originally committed to Northern Illinois. He initially committed to the Huskies over an offer from North Dakota State. Nebraska and Minnesota were also showing interest in the Kearney native.
A tip of the hat goes to Kansas State linebackers coach Steve Stanard. The linebackers coach had been recruiting Schilke for a bit, despite the offer not coming until recently. Schilke enjoyed being coached by Stanard at the camp and will now be coached by him in Manhattan.
