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. It’s time to finish up our spring ball inside intel on the defensive side of the ball.

The linebacker group a year ago was not the problem with the K-State defense, but it certainly wasn’t one of the best in the league. Growth and improvement should be on the docket this year since they retain their best players and potentially add upgraded depth.

Defensive coordinator Joe Klanderman would likely agree that his secondary under-achieved and underwhelmed a season ago. That’s what plagued his unit. Big plays hurt the Wildcats. Which of the K-State cornerbacks are emerging?

As bad as the cornerback spot was for Kansas State last season, the safeties were just as putrid at times. The secondary had some pros, but sometimes you’re only as strong as the weakest links. Have they addressed it to satisfactory levels?
