The Kansas State football team picked up its first commitment for the 2020 recruiting cycle when Nate Matlack orally pledged to play for the Wildcats on Monday.
Matlack, a 6-foot-4 and 210-pound defensive end from Olathe East, chose K-State over Kansas, Northern Illinois and Syracuse.
The three-star recruit made a recruiting visit to K-State on Monday and committed to coach Chris Klieman while he was there. He announced the decision on social media.
“I have decided to go with my heart and commit to Kansas State University,” he wrote on Twitter.
