Kansas State added a key piece to its future offensive line on Monday by landing a commitment from 2026 prospect Oliver Miller out of Cherry Creek High School.
The 6-foot-6, 300-pound lineman revealed his decision via social media. Rated as a three-star recruit by 247Sports, Miller is ranked the No. 19 overall player in Colorado and the 129th offensive lineman nationally.
Miller received interest from a wide range of programs, including Minnesota, Purdue, Washington State, Yale, UNLV, San Diego State, and Colorado State. Known for his combination of size, strength, and athleticism, he’s expected to be a dynamic addition to the Wildcats’ front.
Miller’s recruitment began during a January visit, when then-offensive line coach Conor Riley and head coach Chris Klieman extended an offer. After Riley departed for the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys, new OL coach Brian Lepak kept the momentum going and ultimately sealed the deal.
Kansas State has a strong track record of developing NFL-ready linemen, including standouts like Cooper Beebe and KT Leveston. With the departure of both starting tackles—Easton Kilty (NFL Draft) and Carver Willis (transfer to Washington)—the Wildcats are reloading. The interior line remains intact for 2025, featuring veterans Sam Hecht, Taylor Poitier, and Andrew Leingang, along with high-profile transfers and promising freshmen.
K-State capped a successful 2024 campaign at 9–4, ending the season with a dramatic 44–41 win over Rutgers in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
