This time of year, Kansas State football coaches spend most of their time trying to land incoming players out of the transfer portal. But that doesn’t mean they are ignoring high school recruits.
Collin Klein and the Wildcats proved as much on Sunday afternoon when they gained a commitment from Julius Wilson, a 6-foot-4 and 185-pound wide receiver from Owasso, Oklahoma.
His pledge could turn out to be a notable recruiting win for K-State. It beat out some prominent teams for him.
Wilson chose K-State over Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Tulsa and Texas Tech.
He recently finished campus visits in both Manhattan and Norman. But he preferred the Wildcats.
Wilson was previously committed to Oklahoma State, but he decided to explore other options after Eric Morris replaced Mike Gundy as head coach for the Cowboys.
Last season, Wilson caught 52 passes for 907 yards and 12 touchdowns at Owasso High School.
Wilson is a member of the 2026 recruiting class, which means he should be on campus and ready to help the Wildcats next season.
