The early off-season was nothing but bad news for K-State’s receiving corps. Byron Pringle declared for the draft. Dominique Heath decided to transfer to Appalachian State, joining former Wildcat Corey Sutton. Dalton Schoen, the team’s second-leading receiver by yards per game, ended up the third-leading receiver by total yards because he missed the end of the season after breaking his collarbone. Carlos Strickland, a big body four-star transfer from California Golden Bears who was expected to be a factor, also transferred, ending up at Wayland Baptist in Texas. Yeah, an NAIA school.
