The Kansas State football team continues to find success in the transfer portal.

Chris Klieman landed yet another incoming player for the Wildcats on Wednesday when they picked up a commitment from Wagner offensive lineman Brandon Sneh.

The 6-foot-6 and 320-pound blocker figures to be an important addition for K-State, because he plays an important position. The Wildcats need to add veteran talent to their offensive line after bidding farewell to Hadley Panzer, Carver Willis and Easton Kilty up front.

Sneh might be able to help make up for those losses next season, especially at left tackle or right tackle.

Nearly two dozen schools reached out to the talented FCS blocker when he entered the transfer portal, but he zeroed in on California, Colorado and K-State as his three finalists.

He picked the Wildcats after making a recruiting visit to Manhattan.

K-State has been busy and successful in the portal since it closed out the 2024 season with a win over Rutgers at the Rate Bowl.

With Sneh on board, the Wildcats have landed 11 incoming transfers during the current recruiting cycle. He joins Jerand Bradley (Boston College), Gabe Ervin (Nebraska), Amarion Fortenberry (South Alabama), Gunner Maldonado (Arizona), Mar’Quavious Moss (West Georgia), Gabe Powers (Ohio State), Jayshawn Ross (Alabama), Jayden Rowe (Oklahoma), Amos Talalele (USC) and Jaron Tibbs (Purdue).
