Kansas State Football: 2022 Recruiting Class Rundown
Kansas State added five players via the Transfer Portal, all of which should make an impact for the Wildcats in 2022. Nebraska transfer quarterback Adrian Martinez highlights the list alongside four-star transfer linebacker Branden Jennings from Miami (OH).
Jalen Klemm and Tobi Osunsanmi led the recruiting haul signed by the Kansas State Wildcats during the opening day of the early signing period for the 2022 football recruiting class.
Most of the Wildcats’ signees were rated as three-star players, per 247Sports.com.
The Wildcats snagged Osunsanmi, a 6-foot-2, 210-pound linebacker from East High School in Wichita, Kansas, to bolster their defense’s future. Osunsanmi considered Akron, Kansas, Northern Iowa and South Dakota State before settling on the Wildcats.
Meantime, Klemm is a 6-foot-6, 260-pound offensive lineman from Gibsonia, Pennsylvania, who picked the Wildcats over Arizona, Arizona State, and Colorado.
The Wildcats also snagged two other linebackers — Buford, Georgia, product VJ Payne and Owasso, Oklahoma, product Jake Clifton.
The Wildcats finished 8-5 on the season under head coach Chris Klieman and topped off the year by blowing out LSU in the Texas Bowl.
