Former Kansas State consensus All-American and current Green Bay Packer All-Pro receiver Jordy Nelson and his wife Emily have generously pledged a philanthropic contribution to K-State Athletics.
The gift will assist in the department’s efforts to complete Phase III-B of the Bill Snyder Family Stadium Master Plan — the northeast corner of the Vanier Family Football Complex — K-State athletic director John Currie announced Thursday morning.
In addition, Currie announced that the football team’s locker room in the new Vanier Complex will be named the Nelson Family Locker Room in recognition of the couple’s contribution.
“We appreciate Jordy and Emily’s loyalty and generosity to K-State Athletics and our goal of providing a world-class student-athlete experience,” Currie said.
