Kansas State’s best receiver is a walk-on sophomore from Overland Park that grew up dreaming about catching touchdown passes for the Wildcats, but the sudden and unexpected rise of Dalton Schoen is more than just a feel-good story.
His eye-popping production has shown what he is truly capable of, despite getting completely overlooked as a high school recruit out of Blue Valley Northwest. It has also revealed how poorly K-State’s scholarship receivers have played.
Schoen leads all K-State receivers with 269 yards and three touchdown catches. He also boasts a team-high catch rate of 84.6 percent. And he has done it all on 13 targets, a number that ranks third behind Isaiah Zuber (31) and Byron Pringle (18).
