  • Kansas State added three portal players Friday to address offense, defense, special teams.
  • Tanner Morley joins offensive line; Ja’Son Prevard adds depth; Jaxson Duffield long snaps.
  • Wildcats approved 18 portal arrivals while 31 players exited via transfer portal.

The Kansas State football team capped a hectic work week in the transfer portal by landing four new players on Friday.

They will help the Wildcats in every phase of the game next season.

On offense, K-State landed Tanner Morley. He is a 6-foot-7 and 325-pound offensive lineman who began his college football career at Colorado State, where he was a steady contributor at left tackle.

New K-State head coach Collin Klein likely took some added joy in landing a player from his home state. Morley grew up in Highlands Ranch, Colorado.

Delvin Morris, an offensive lineman from Akron, also committed to K-State later in the day. He chose the Wildcats over interest from North Carolina State, Kentucky and UCF.

On defense, K-State secured a commitment from Ja’Son Prevard. He is a 6-foot-2 and 199-pound junior defensive back from Virginia. He made 24 tackles and grabbed three interceptions for the Cavaliers last season.

The Wildcats will give him an opportunity to compete for a starting job immediately after they lost several defenders to the portal.

And on special teams, K-State landed Jaxson Duffield, a long-snapper from Oklahoma State.

The portal has only been open for a week, but the Wildcats have landed 19 incoming players during that time.
