Kansas State football keeps it in the family with commitment from Louisburg linebacker

Austin Moore may be leaving Kansas State football at the end of the 2024 season, but the family name lives on.

Louisburg High School linebacker Ashton Moore, Austin’s younger brother, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on social media Wednesday, becoming K-State’s 15th pledge for the 2025 recruiting cycle.

“I’m excited to announce my commitment to Kansas State University,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter. “Thank you to my family, coaches, teammates and everyone who has supported me along the way, especially the Louisburg community. Go Cats!”

K-State was the first Power Four school to offer the younger Moore after a camp in Manhattan last month. He also held offers from Illinois State and Pennsylvania, plus took visits to Kansas and South Dakota State.

Austin Moore, a team captain and second-team Big 12 all-conference last year, originally walked on at K-State. He will be a third-year starter this year as a super-senior.
