Trent Tanking came to Kansas State as a walk-on from Topeka, Kansas, in 2013. He played for Brooks Barta, a former K-State linebacker, at Holton High School, nicknamed the Wildcats.
No surprise, Tanking has fit in well and dutifully performed his job in Manhattan.
“I came in here and asked to be a special-teams guy,” Tanking said. “I thought, ‘If I do this for four years, I’ll be happy.’”
Happy he has been.
