Recruiting is always a hit-and-miss proposition, and Kansas State has had typical results in assembling its 2016 football class.
K-State scored well by landing four-star quarterback Skylar Thompson from Fort Osage High School in Independence, Mo., along with filling immediate needs with a Division I senior graduate and four junior college transfers.

Thompson tops K-State’s list, already enrolled and on campus after graduating early from high school.
