Kansas State head coach Collin Klein announced Monday that Brian Lepak will remain on the Wildcats’ staff and return to coaching the tight ends. Lepak has been part of the K-State program since 2021 and previously coached the tight ends from 2022 through 2024 before working with the offensive line during the 2025 season.

During his time with the tight ends, Lepak helped guide strong production and conference recognition. Ben Sinnott earned All-Big 12 First Team honors in 2022 and 2023, while Garrett Oakley and Will Swanson received All-Big 12 honors in 2024. The tight end group also combined for 13 touchdown receptions in 2024, the most in the nation.

Klein said Lepak’s work ethic and knowledge have been valuable to the program. Lepak was part of K-State’s 2022 Big 12 Championship staff and will again focus on developing the tight ends in 2026.
