Eli Walker and D.J. Reed haven’t played a single football game together at Kansas State, but they have been teammates for years.
The junior defensive backs were members of the same secondary two years ago at Cerritos Junior College in California, and they planned to reunite.
Not long into their first game, they realized they had chemistry. Not just any kind of chemistry, either. It felt special, the type of connection that would eventually carry them both to the Big 12.
“We didn’t start off that close, but we came together fast on the field,” Walker said.
