In the Trenches with Big B: Can the offensive line handle injuries?
Summary
-
Kansas State lost projected offensive-line anchor John Pastore to a season-ending lower-leg injury and George Fitzpatrick for the year after already needing to replace the other four 2025 starters.
-
Tanner Morley has also dealt with availability issues, Missouri transfer Keiton Jones is working back from injury, and potential starter Oliver Miller may miss several weeks.
-
Redshirt freshman Dylan Villarouel could be forced into a major role at center as Kansas State rebuilds line chemistry during the opening portion of the season.
-
Kansas State needs enough athleticism up front to reach the second level and execute Collin Klein's movement-based run concepts, while Avery Johnson's mobility can mitigate but not solve the unit's protection issues.
