Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman talks about roster limits
Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman talks about his frustration with a lack of clarity over roster limits for the 2025 season.
A busy Kansas State football recruiting weekend in Manhattan has yielded its first result for coach Chris Klieman and his staff.
Tanner West, a versatile 6-foot, 185-pound athlete from Katy, Texas, announced his commitment to the Wildcats on social media Sunday. He was one of 14 prospects visiting K-State over the weekend and is the Klieman’s fifth commitment for the 2026 recruiting class.
West played both running back and receiver as a junior at Katy Jordan High School, amassing more than 1,200 yards from scrimmage with 694 yards and 10 touchdowns rushing and 30 catches for 534 yards and another three scores.
West is expected to play running back at K-State.
K-State was West’s only official visit, but he had 20 offers, including Kansas, Memphis, SMU, Air Force, Navy and multiple Ivy League schools. Once he committed, he canceled scheduled visits to Rice and Tulsa.
West joins a 2026 high school recruiting class that includes linebacker Dejon Ackerson (Oklahoma), offensive lineman Lamarcus Barber (Mill Valley HS), cornerback Brandon Ford (Texas) and offensive lineman Oliver Miller (Colorado).
With the number of visitors this weekend, K-State could well add to its commitment list in the coming days.
