Nuggets on Kansas State (in terms of inside intel) is relegated to our message board at KSO but still spills out the best information on the Wildcats in the market. This week we discuss much of the focus centers on the K-State cornerback room.

Assistant Van Malone has been in Manhattan ever since Chris Klieman was hired by Gene Taylor. He has helped produced a few different NFL defensive backs – namely Julius Brents. He’s working on developing the next batch.

We shine a spotlight on a young player under his tutelage where there is growing promise.

The newest cornerback to sign with K-State is actually a transfer addition in Jordan Dunbar of Rice. Though he didn’t play season ago, he was an All-Conference USA selection the year prior and has two years of eligibility left.

We discuss the role he will play in Manhattan, why he came available and the reason the Wildcats chose to pull the trigger late on a defensive back.

Next, the discussion pivots to the K-State linebacker room. They already added New Mexico transfer Alec Marenco because of the loss of Jake Clifton. That shores up the middle spot for now, and allows both Austin Romaine and Beau Palmer to play the reserve role.

Junior college linebacker Kaden McMahan also landed with the Wildcats instead of Iowa State for increased depth at the outside linebacker spots. But one of their linebackers may arrive in Manhattan a little late.
