Kansas State redshirt tracker: Status report before practices start
Who will redshirt and who won’t this season for Kansas State?
Kansas State QB Will Howard
Games Played: 0
Summary: It is crazy to consider, but Kansas State quarterback Will Howard still has not redshirted in his time in Manhattan. He’s entering the year as the unquestioned starting quarterback and will not redshirt.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt.
QB Avery Johnson
Games Played: 0
Summary: I’m fascinated in learning how K-State is planning to use Avery Johnson this season. He’s too athletic to leave on the sidelines all year, but what four games will they use him? Does he just play one snap or does he grab a few?
Projection: Plays and redshirts.
RB Joe Jackson
Games Played: 0
Summary: We should see Joe Jackson receive spot duty this season while maintaining his redshirt.
Projection: Plays and redshirts.
Tre Spivey/Kansas State Athletics
K-State WR Tre Spivey
Games Played: 0
Summary: Of the freshman who arrived in June, Tre Spivey is one of the Kansas State players making the most noise. I bet he plays.
Projection: Plays and redshirts.
WR Andre Davis
Games Played: 0
Summary: Andre Davis probably needs a bit more time in the oven before playing college football.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
Kansas State WR Jayce Brown
Games Played: 0
Summary: Jayce Brown received the most praise of the three K-State wide receivers who enrolled early.
Projection: Plays and redshirts.
WR Wesley Watson
Games Played: 0
Summary: Like Davis, Wesley Watson will likely use his first year as a developmental one.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
Ben Sinnott/Kansas State Athletics
K-State TE Ben Sinnott
Games Played: 0
Summary: Technically, Ben Sinnott still has his redshirt available. He won’t use it, though.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt.
TE Will Anciaux
Games Played: 0
Summary: Kansas State loves both of their freshmen tight ends. Do we see them as early as this season? I don’t think so.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
TE Andrew Metzger
Games Played: 0
Summary: Andrew Metzger is probably more college ready than Will Anciaux. However, like with Anciaux, I don’t think we’ll see him this season.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
Kansas State OL Hadley Panzer
Games Played: 0
Summary: Hadley Panzer is unlikely to redshirt this season.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
Hadley Panzer/Kansas State Athletics
OL Camden Beebe
Games Played: 0
Summary: There’s too much depth on the K-State offensive line, especially on the interior, for Camden Beebe to play this season.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
OL Jackson Fullmer
Games Played: 0
Summary: Like with Beebe, there’s too much depth on the Kansas State offensive line for Jackson Fullmer to play this season.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
OL Devin Vass
Games Played: 0
Summary: It would be a surprise if Devin Vass played this year.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts.
K-State NG Uso Seumalo
Games Played: 0
Summary: K-State is expecting a big year out of Uso Seumalo. He may be the most important player on the roster.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt.
Uso Seumalo/Kansas State Athletics
NG Asher Tomaszewski
Games Played: 0
Summary: There’s too many older guys with experience in front of Asher Tomaszewski for him to play this season.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
Kansas State DE Nate Matlack
Games Played: 0
Summary: Surprisingly enough, Nate Matlack has his redshirt at his disposal. He also won’t be using it, though.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
DE Jordan Allen
Games Played: 0
Summary: Daniel Green mentioned Kansas State defensive lineman Jordan Allen in an interview on ESPNU at Big 12 Media Days as a freshman who may play in 2022.
Projection: Plays and redshirts
K-State DE Chiddi Obiazor
Games Played: 0
Summary: Another player mentioned by Green was Chiddi Obiazor. The praise for Obiazor has been strong since he made it to Manhattan in January. Because of that, I’ll be bold and say he does not redshirt this season.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
DE Ryan Davis
Games Played: 0
Summary: It’s likely going to be a developmental year for Ryan Davis.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
Jake Clifton/Drew Galloway
Kansas State LB Jake Clifton
Games Played: 0
Summary: K-State linebacker Jake Clifton isn’t going to redshirt this season. I believe he could make significant strides on the field. It will be interesting where he winds up seeing the most playing time.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
LB Rex Van Wyhe
Games Played: 0
Summary: Rex Van Wyhe is interesting because he’s a junior college player with a redshirt available. My guess is he doesn’t redshirt, though, because he will likely be a back-up at one of the linebacker spots.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
LB Collin Dunn
Games Played: 0
Summary: It would be a surprise if Collin Dunn played for Kansas State this season.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
K-State LB Austin Romaine
Games Played: 0
Summary: The buzz was palpable on Austin Romaine at Big 12 Media Days. Perhaps we see him log some special teams work this season?
Projection: Plays and redshirts
LB Asa Newsom
Games Played: 0
Summary: I would be a little surprised if Asa Newsom didn’t at least play on special teams.
Projection: Plays and redshirts
Jacob Parrish/Drew Galloway
Kansas State CB Jacob Parrish
Games Played: 0
Summary: Jacob Parrish is the one K-State cornerback who seems to have separated himself from the pack. He shouldn’t be redshirting.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
CB Donovan McIntosh
Games Played: 0
Summary: Donovan McIntosh possesses a lot of speed, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he was thrown onto the field at some point. With that being said, it’s still doubtful.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
K-State CB Kanijal Thomas
Games Played: 0
Summary: Kanijal Thomas has seen a lot of praise come his way since arriving in June.
Projection: Plays and redshirts
Kansas State S VJ Payne
Games Played: 0
Summary: Joe Klanderman and Kansas State will likely have VJ Payne starting at safety.
Projection: Plays and doesn’t redshirt
VJ Payne/Kansas State Athletics
S Jack Fabris
Games Played: 0
Summary: A sleeper to not redshirt is K-State true freshman Jack Fabris. They may want to deploy him as a special teams weapon. That is where he did a lot of damage at the high school level. However, I’ll lean towards him waiting at least one more year first before jumping on that bandwagon.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
S Kameron Sallis
Games Played: 0
Summary: Praise was heaped onto Kameron Sallis soon after he made his way to campus. If he continues to grow into a different spot, he may not play year one.
Projection: Doesn’t play and redshirts
K-State S Wesley Fair
Games Played: 0
Summary: Also receiving some compliments has been Wesley Fair. The Wichita native could be a future captain because of it.
Projection: Plays and redshirts
