Big Get Up Front: K-State Strikes Early In Landing Key 2026 Commitment in Another Top Talented Player

 

Kansas State scored a major recruiting win on Monday with the commitment of 2026 offensive lineman Oliver Miller from Cherry Creek High School in Colorado.

Miller, a towering 6-foot-6, 300-pound prospect, shared the news via social media. A three-star recruit, he ranks as the No. 19 player in Colorado and the No. 129 offensive lineman nationally according to 247Sports.

The versatile lineman drew offers from a wide range of programs, including Colorado State, Minnesota, Purdue, Yale, Washington State, and others. Known for his strength and athleticism, Miller is expected to add both physical dominance and flexibility to K-State’s offensive front.

Miller’s recruitment began under former offensive line coach Conor Riley and head coach Chris Klieman, who offered him during a visit in January. After Riley departed for the Dallas Cowboys, new position coach Brian Lepak took over and successfully closed the deal.

Kansas State has a strong recent history of developing NFL-level offensive linemen under Riley’s guidance, including standouts like Cooper Beebe and KT Leveston.

With both starting tackles from 2024 gone—Easton Kilty to the NFL Draft and Carver Willis via transfer—the Wildcats are revamping their offensive line. The interior remains solid with returning veterans, and help is on the way from experienced transfers and promising underclassmen.

K-State wrapped up the 2024 season with a 9–4 record, capped by a 44–41 win over Rutgers in the Guaranteed Rate Bowl.
