The Kansas State Wildcats are entering a highly anticipated football season under the leadership of new head coach Collin Klein. Klein, a former star quarterback for the Wildcats, takes over after Chris Klieman's surprising resignation following a 6-6 finish last season. The university selected Klein, who led the team to an 11-1 record in the early 2010s and was a Heisman Trophy finalist, as Klieman's successor.
Fans can anticipate meeting Klein and the players at the annual "Meet the Cats" event scheduled for August 22 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. The event will provide opportunities for autographs from both the football and basketball teams. The Wildcats were projected to finish eighth in the Big 12 conference this season. Klein's return to his alma mater also signifies a reunion with quarterback Avery Johnson, whom Klein helped recruit and is expected to have a breakout season.
