Kansas State announced the signing of 23 prospects on Wednesday as part of the 2026 class. The group includes 19 high school recruits and four community-college transfers. K-State added 11 offensive players, nine defensive players, two specialists, and one athlete. The class features five offensive linemen, four defensive tackles, three wide receivers, two running backs, two safeties, and one signee at several other positions, including quarterback and defensive end.

The Wildcats continued to recruit nationally, with players coming from 10 states and one foreign country. Texas led the list with five signees, followed by Missouri with four and Oklahoma with three. Two players each came from Kansas, Colorado, and Nebraska.

Seventeen of the signees are expected to enroll early for the spring semester. That group includes Dejon Ackerson Jr., Tucker Ashford, Lamarcus Barber, Adrian Bekibele, and several others who will join the program ahead of spring workouts.
