From ESPN Insider
Big 12 recruits who fill biggest needs
For Kansas State
OT Evan Applegate
Shawnee, Kan./Mill Valley
The Wildcats’ top-ranked recruit, Scott Frantz, is expected to lead the offensive line one day. A guy like Applegate can help Frantz form a scary 1-2 combo on the line. Applegate is high on Kansas State, but Arkansas is a strong contender, as well. Some may consider Arkansas a favorite, but the Wildcats won’t go out without a fight.
For squawks
RB Tyreik Gray
Houston/Lamar
ESPN 300 Rank: 229
Kansas has done well in recruiting linemen for the 2015 class, and while improving on its defense is important, adding quality running backs to its already-talented arsenal wouldn’t be a bad thing. Gray is an ESPN 300 athlete who can help turn around a Kansas offense looking to shock the rest of the Big 12 this season and for seasons to come.
