Cody Whitehair embraces extra responsibility as Kansas State’s left tackle

Manhattan seemed like a big place to Cody Whitehair when he enrolled at Kansas State four years ago.

Because of growing up in Abilene, a town of roughly 6,800, the packed streets running through the K-State campus and the businesses across Manhattan made his new home, a town of approximately 56,000, seem bigger than it actually was.

So you can imagine his shock when he traveled to much larger cities as an offensive lineman on the K-State football team. He has been to Austin, Dallas, Fort Worth, Phoenix and San Antonio, some of the biggest cities in the nation.
