Levi Valadez recently gave his verbal commitment to Kansas State.
Valadez, a 17-year-old from Alamo Heights High in San Antonio, picked the Wildcats over Baylor, Texas Tech, Missouri, New Mexico, San Diego, Sam Houston Sate and Abilene Christian.
"It was important to me to visit large and small schools, both public and private," Valadez told Golfweek. "From my visits, I decided that I wanted to be in a larger program. I was also looking for a program with coaches who would develop me, not only as a golfer, but also as a young man.
"As I built my relationship with the K-State coaches, it was clear that Coach Robbins and Coach Carstens were the right fit for me.
