Kansas State lands St. Louis running back Tre Bryant

Kansas State got some welcome news on the recruiting front Monday when Tre Bryant, a high school running back from St. Louis, orally committed to the Wildcats.

Bryant is a 5-foot-10, 198-pound prospect. Recruiting services have labeled him a three-star recruit, and Rivals ranks him as Missouri’s 14th best player in the 2016 class. He chose K-State over Kansas, Missouri, Minnesota, Syracuse, Northwestern, Vanderbilt and others.

He announced his decision on Twitter, writing, “After much deliberation I am excited to announce that will continue my career as a student athlete at Kansas State University!”

Bryant will add depth to K-State’s running backs corps as the Wildcats search for their next featured ball-carrier.

He is the fourth member of K-State’s 2016 recruiting class, joining quarterback Skylar Thompson, tight end Nick Lenners and receivers D.J. Render and Corey Sutton.
