a Kansas City wide receiver who picked K-State over Kansas Klieman was particularly happy about the addition of Stinyard, who became available after West Virginia parted ways with head coach Neal Brown. The Wildcats had coveted him for quite a while.

Chris Klieman and the Kansas State football team learned that lesson this year with Goodland tight end Linkon Cure. Even after the Wildcats secured a verbal commitment from the top high school senior in the Sunflower State, the Wildcats had to fight until the bitter end to secure his services on signing day.

Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman trusted five-start tight end Linkon Cure to make the right decision, and it paid off for the Wildcats.
