The Kansas State Wildcats received a major recruiting boost for their 2027 class after 4-star quarterback Sione Kaho made a bold statement affirming his strong interest in the program. Hailing from Lincoln High School in Washington, Kaho has quickly emerged as one of the top quarterback prospects nationally, giving K-State confidence as it works to build a talented and competitive roster for the coming seasons.
Rated as the 16th-best quarterback in the 2027 class by 247Sports, Kaho has drawn attention from several major programs, including Oregon, Cal, and Stanford, but he made it clear that Kansas State is among the programs at the top of his list. The Lincoln High standout praised head coach Collin Klein and the Wildcats’ offensive system, highlighting the program’s ability to develop quarterbacks and prepare players for success at the next level.
Kaho has visited the Kansas State campus multiple times, attending games, meeting with the coaching staff, and reviewing film to better understand the Wildcats’ offense. He described these visits as “great experiences” and said they strengthened his connection to the program.
In addition to his relationship with the coaches, Kaho has been in touch with current Wildcats 2027 commits, building early rapport with other recruits and emphasizing the strong culture within the Kansas State football program.
Standing 6-foot-3 and weighing around 210 pounds, Kaho describes himself as a game manager who can also make plays in high-pressure situations. While he avoids directly comparing himself to other quarterbacks, he draws inspiration from stars like Drake Maye and CJ Stroud, incorporating aspects of their play into his own style.
Kaho indicated that he plans to make a commitment in June 2026, though he noted that things could change, signaling that fans and recruiting followers should stay alert for developments.
With Kaho showing strong interest in Kansas State, the Wildcats have not only added a highly-ranked quarterback prospect to their recruiting board but also reinforced the perception that K-State can compete for top-tier talent both in-state and nationally. His connection to Coach Collin Klein and current commits provides momentum as the Wildcats assemble a 2027 class that could have an immediate and lasting impact on the program.
For now, Kansas State Wildcats fans have a major reason to be excited about the quarterback position and the potential addition of a top-level playmaker in the 2027 class.
