Eastern Illinois transfer Patrick Muldoon joins Kansas State as walk-on
The Kansas State basketball team gained some front-court depth on Thursday.
Patrick Muldoon, a 6-foot-7, 215-pound forward from Basehor who spent the past two years at Eastern Illinois, has joined the Wildcats as a walk-on. Muldoon, a junior, has two years of college eligibility remaining. He can begin playing for K-State in 2018-19 after he sits out one season per NCAA transfer rules.
“We are excited to have Patrick join our program,” K-State basketball coach Bruce Weber said. “We have been fortunate over the years to have some really quality walk-ons, players like Brain Rohleder, Austin Budke and Zach Winter, and Patrick certainly brings those qualities to our team. He has Division I experience, having played quality minutes the last two seasons at Eastern Illinois, and is an excellent student who wants to pursue an engineering degree.”
Muldoon played in 29 games for Eastern Illinois last season and started 10 of them. He averaged 5.5 points and 4.3 rebounds.
In high school, Muldoon was a standout at Basehor-Linwood under coach Mike McBride, averaging 17.1 points as a senior.
