Kansas State football will be losing a key contributor from its offensive line as one of its top linemen decides to transfer. The 6-foot-6 redshirt junior was a consistent presence for the Wildcats over the past three seasons and held a starting role at right guard in 2025.
Last season, he played in nine games and started seven, logging 420 snaps while giving up zero sacks and committing no penalties. His solid performance on both pass and run plays made him one of the most reliable linemen on the roster.
Devin Vass earned high praise from Kansas State coaches for his hard work and consistency, with head coach Chris Klieman noting that he had “played as well as anybody up front” despite being a lower-ranked option entering fall camp. His discipline and technique made him a trusted anchor on the offensive line.
The Wildcats now face the challenge of filling the void left at right guard. Replacing a starter with significant game experience will be critical for maintaining the line’s effectiveness and protecting the quarterback.
Vass’ departure comes amid a period of transition for Kansas State football, including a coaching change and multiple roster shifts. The offensive line, which had been a strength, will need to adjust quickly to preserve its performance in the upcoming season.
After three seasons in Manhattan, Devin Vass will continue his college football career elsewhere, seeking new opportunities and challenges while leaving behind a track record of consistency and dependability on the Wildcats’ offensive front.
