K-State football and men’s basketball both garnered praise from the Big 12 on Monday as both senior cornerback and kick returner Morgan Burns and junior forward Wesley Iwundu were named Big 12 Players of the Week.
Burns set a school record for most-kickoff yards in a game with 221 yards, breaking Aubery Quarles previous record of 197 yards versus North Texas in 2010.
Burn’s 221 yards were the most in the Big 12 since Texas’s Fozzy Whittaker put up 252 yards versus Oklahoma State in 2010.
Burns started off last week’s 59-44 loss versus Texas Tech with a 93 yard kick-off return for a touchdown.
