Kansas State men’s basketball player Taj Manning will join the Athletes in Action international tour to the Czech Republic from June 28 to July 11.

Manning, a rising junior from Grandview, Missouri, will be part of a team made up of eight college players from across the country. The group will play exhibition games against the Czech Republic’s U20 and U23 national teams.

In addition to competing, the team will participate in community outreach, including a youth basketball camp and a coaching clinic during the trip.

Manning has played in 22 games for the Wildcats, including 14 starts during the 2023-24 season as a redshirt freshman.

Athletes in Action is a faith-based organization that partners with college athletes to provide sports tours and leadership development opportunities with an emphasis on service and cultural exchange.
