Kansas State receiver Dalton Schoen made a promise to Skylar Thompson shortly after he arrived on campus two years ago and attempted his first pass in a college practice.
“Anytime you want to throw or do anything extra,” Schoen told Thompson, “I will definitely be there for you.”
Thompson took him up on that offer, and the two have been building a touchdown connection ever since. It started in summer workouts and grew when they both joined K-State’s scout team. Now, it’s blossoming in games.
Half of Thompson’s four touchdown passes this season have gone to Schoen.
