MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — It’s usually worth taking notice whenever Bill Snyder decides to single out a player the first week of fall camp. After all, the longtime Kansas State coach rarely doles out praise.
Welcome to the spotlight, Collin Klein.
The junior quarterback played sparingly for the Wildcats last season behind senior Carson Coffman. The former wide receiver with the long stride and plenty of athleticism ran for 424 yards and six touchdowns, but he comes into this season having thrown a total of 19 passes in his college career.
While that might normally cause a coach anxiety, Snyder is genuinely at ease with his likely starter.
