Rapid Reaction: K-State Depth Chart ▫️Absolute panic mode at OL. Again, positive that the QB is both seasoned and mobile but even still. ▫️Whether or not he's the true second option there or not, Morris at RT? Clearly they're at a point where you lean on experience in an emergency (as if they're not already in one), but not a great look for some underclassmen and Klieman carryovers. Hell, that seems to apply for the entire OL really. Basically all new faces instead of returners. ▫️That's a defense with length! Pretty much 6'1 across the secondary but especially long on the islands. ▫️DT. Yikes. It's even more glaring on paper. Hope it holds up. ▫️Several guys I expected to see, even as 2nd or 3rd, are no-shows. Donovan McIntosh, Adrian Maddox, Elijah Hill, Jacob Oliphant jump to mind. Maddox and McIntosh especially when you consider how highly coaches spoke of Maddox earlier this offseason and the inexperience that jumped McIntosh. Hopefully that's a good sign for that room though. ▫️Curious on Harris at KR. Very limited return experience. Size and speed combo make him insanely dangerous there but just wondering if he's truly the best man for the job. Time will tell.
