Jeremy Jacobs, the associate director of strength and conditioning for the Aggies, is expected to lead the Wildcats in the weight room next season, according to a report from On3.
Jacobs is poised to take over as K-State’s strength and conditioning coach after spending time previously at Texas A&M, Duke, LSU and Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
He is an expert in both sports science and performance training.
Klein spent the past two years working alongside Jacobs at Texas A&M, where Klein served as offensive coordinator until K-State hired him as its new head coach earlier this month.
