**Manhattan, KS** – Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt’s Post-Spring Top 25 college football rankings have placed Kansas State at No. 16, generating significant preseason hype for the Wildcats. Klatt cited head coach Chris Klieman’s prowess and the returning experience of quarterback Avery Johnson as key factors in the ranking. However, Klatt also highlighted the need to replace NFL-drafted running back DJ Giddens, while noting the strengths of returning players Dylan Edwards and Jayce Brown. Edwards impressed in his freshman season, while Brown led the team in receiving yards last year.
