K-State football adds to recruiting haul with commitment from St. Louis defender
This has been a good month of recruiting for the Kansas State football team.
Head coach Chris Klieman and the Wildcats continued their hot streak on Monday when Nick McClellan announced his intentions to play for K-State on social media.
McClellan is a 6-foot and 170-pound defensive back from St. Louis. He is a three-star recruit who picked K-State over Iowa, Iowa State, Kansas and Missouri. He also held scholarship offers from Colorado State, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Toledo and Western Illinois.
“Locked in,” he wrote on X above a video montage of himself wearing a K-State football uniform on a recent visit to Manhattan.
McClellan is considered a top 10 prospect in the state of Missouri for the recruiting class of 2026. His commitment should boost the K-State secondary in future seasons.
But he is far from the only new recruit that K-State has landed during the month of June.
Defensive lineman Kingston Hall, safety Hannibal Navies and cornerback Garrick Dixon all committed to the Wildcats over Father’s Day weekend.
Add on McClellan and K-State now has 13 known members in its 2026 recruiting class, with nine of those pledges coming this month.
Klieman has hosted dozens of recruits on high-profile recruiting visits over the past few weeks and those weekends have clearly impressed the visitors.
