The next two weeks, we'll be taking a look at one player each Big 12 team can't live without. In other words, the player most indispensable.
We continue this series with the Kansas State State Wildcats.
Most indispensable: Safety Dante Barnett
This might seem crazy, considering Barnett didn't play last season because of injury. But two years ago, he was the glue of the Kansas State defense. And without him last year, the Wildcats struggled for a good chunk of the season.
Barnett was a preseason All-Big 12 selection going into 2015.
