Former Kansas State quarterback Jake Waters is returning to the Big 12.
Iowa State announced Friday that it hired Waters as an offensive graduate assistant, a role that will allow Waters to take his first serious step toward a coaching career.
Waters, a native of Council Bluffs, Iowa was a record-setting passer for the Wildcats in 2013 and 2014. He went 17-9 as a starter and guided them to a pair of bowl appearances after transferring in from Iowa Western Community College.
He was at his best as a senior when he set K-State’s single-season record for total yardage by throwing for 3,501 yards and 22 touchdowns, while also rushing for 484 yards and nine touchdowns.
