  • Kansas State signs Wendell Gregory from Oklahoma State to bolster edge rush.
  • He posted 27 tackles and four sacks at Oklahoma State; evaluators ranked him top 25.
  • K-State now lists 22 incoming transfers and targets immediate impact in front seven.

The Kansas State football team continues to add transfers from Oklahoma State out of the portal.

New head coach Collin Klein has landed four players who suited up for K-State’s conference rival last season.

The latest one may be the best of the bench.

Wendell Gregory, a 6-foot-3 and 255-pound redshirt freshman edge rusher, has announced his intentions to play for the Wildcats next season. Many experts considered him to be one of the top-25 players in this transfer cycle. He will arrive in Manhattan after making 27 tackles, including four sacks, during his lone season at Oklahoma State.

Gregory began his college football career at South Carolina, but he retained his redshirt while playing in only a few games for the Gamecocks.

K-State has prioritized defensive linemen and edge defenders over the past few weeks. The Wildcats also picked up a commitment from Junction City defensive end Jackson Hollie on Monday night.

Considering all the talent that K-State lost in its front seven, Gregory will have an opportunity to make an immediate impact next season.

He will join three other former Oklahoma State football players at K-State. They are: long snapper Jaxson Duffield, running back Rodney Fields and linebacker Jacobi Oliphant.

Overall, K-State has lined up commitments from 22 incoming transfers this month.
