Kansas State football’s had a hectic week in the transfer portal. They’ve landed 18 new commitments—two offensive linemen, a cornerback, and a long snapper among them.
This sudden burst of talent should give the Wildcats a real boost for next season. Head coach Collin Klein and his staff have been hustling to lock in these transfers, and honestly, it’s paid off.
The transfer portal opened January 2 and runs through January 16. It’s given Kansas State a rare shot to really reshape their roster.
Let’s take a look at who’s coming in and who’s packing up for new teams.
New Commitments to Kansas State
Kansas State’s made some big moves to strengthen the roster. They’ve added players at a bunch of different positions.
Offensive Linemen
Morley, standing at 6-foot-7 and weighing 325 pounds, played four games in 2025 before a knee injury ended his season. In 2024, he saw action in 13 games as a redshirt freshman and got voted team captain for 2025.
Pro Football Focus gave him high marks for pass blocking—just seven pressures and one sack on 376 snaps. That’s pretty solid.
Morris brings flexibility at 6-foot-3, 280 pounds. Over the last two seasons, he started 10 times in 24 games.
He most recently played left tackle for the Zips, but he’s also lined up at center and left guard. In 2025, he played 472 downs and finished the year with impressive pass-blocking grades.
Defensive Backs
Prevard logged 656 snaps for the Cavaliers last season, mostly at slot corner. The 6-foot-2, 199-pound junior tallied 24 tackles, three picks, and five pass breakups.
He gave up just 18 catches on 33 targets for 240 yards and didn’t allow a touchdown. That’s the kind of coverage you want.
Patterson appeared in nine games for the Illini in 2025 and started three. He finished with 14 tackles, two fumble recoveries, and a pass breakup.
In 2024, he started 12 games and earned the nation’s No. 5 tackling grade among cornerbacks, according to Pro Football Focus.
Defensive Line
Mason had a huge year for the Bulldogs—68 tackles, 14.5 tackles for loss, and three sacks. He picked up second-team All-Conference USA honors.
He began his college career at Syracuse before transferring to Louisiana Tech. That’s a journey.
Ramsey, at 6-foot-4 and 303 pounds, switched from offensive line to defensive tackle before 2024. He played in 16 games over two seasons and recorded five tackles and a sack.
Wide Receivers
Williams was a promising redshirt freshman for the Aggies in 2025 and now follows his offensive coordinator to Manhattan. He caught seven passes for 64 yards and a touchdown last season.
His dad, Melvin Williams, made a name for himself on Bill Snyder’s defensive line in the early 2000s. Football runs in the family, I guess.
Running Backs
Fields averaged five yards per carry, rushing 124 times for 614 yards and a touchdown. He also hauled in 28 passes for 276 yards and another score.
Fields will reunite with Cory Patterson, his old running backs coach from Oklahoma State, who just joined Kansas State too.
Special Teams
Hammond didn’t get a shot at field goals for Toledo until the Boca Raton Bowl against Louisville. He made two of three, including kicks from 41 and 50 yards.
All season, he handled kickoffs—43 of his 71 went for touchbacks. That’s some leg.
Duffield comes to the Wildcats with four years of eligibility after his freshman year at Oklahoma State. He ranked No. 11 among long snappers in the Class of 2025.
