Kansas State has been steadily building momentum with its 2027 recruiting class, and the Wildcats have made Texas a clear priority in that process. Their continued push into the Lone Star State paid off again with the addition of another defensive piece.
Top talented edge officially committed to Kansas State, giving the Wildcats another athletic pass rusher with upside. Price recently took an official visit to Manhattan, which marked his second trip to campus this offseason. That return visit proved to be significant, as Kansas State surged ahead in his recruitment and ultimately separated itself from the rest of the field for the Cedar Hill High School standout.
Price came away impressed by how the coaching staff envisions using him within the defensive scheme. He emphasized that the opportunities to make plays were a major factor in his decision, noting that the system aligns well with his skill set and allows him to play aggressively off the edge. The overall experience during the visit also left a lasting impression and helped solidify his comfort level with the program.
Before committing to Kansas State, Price was pledged to Baylor, making this a notable in-state recruiting win for the Wildcats. Oklahoma State was also heavily involved and remained a finalist deep into the process, but Kansas State’s approach ultimately resonated most.
A big part of that appeal was the defensive staff and their detailed plan for his development. Price was drawn to how the Wildcats intend to use him as a disruptive playmaker, particularly through creative pressure packages and disguised blitzes designed to confuse offensive linemen. He believes that style of defense will put him in favorable positions to get off blocks, attack the backfield, and consistently impact games.
With Price now on board, Kansas State continues to strengthen its 2027 class and reinforce its growing recruiting footprint in Texas, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
