Kansas State could be without top running back Alex Barnes when it takes on Texas A&M on Wednesday in the Texas Bowl.
Barnes, a redshirt freshman who averaged 7.9 yards per rush this season, was not in attendance for the Wildcats’ practice Monday at Rice University.
K-State coach Bill Snyder didn’t explain why Barnes was a no show. Snyder also said little when asked if Barnes will play in the Texas Bowl.
“I hope so,” Snyder replied.
If Barnes is unable to play against Texas A&M, he will his second straight game. He watched K-State’s final regular season game, a 30-6 victory at TCU, in full uniform from the sideline.
