Kansas State has landed a major portal win, securing a high-profile All-Big Ten talent as part of its 2026 roster overhaul. The move represents a significant statement for the Wildcats and head coach Collin Klein, signaling the program’s growing pull in the transfer portal.
Andrew Sprague, a standout offensive lineman from Michigan, officially committed to K-State after entering the transfer portal earlier this month. The former Wolverine made it clear that Manhattan would be his next home, choosing the Wildcats over multiple Power Five suitors and expressing a passionate connection to the program.
At Michigan, Sprague earned All-Big Ten recognition as a redshirt freshman and proved himself versatile across the offensive line, logging significant snaps at both tackle positions. His experience in the Big Ten brings elite-level competition exposure and immediately upgrades K-State’s offensive front.
Sources close to the program say the Wildcats’ clear plan for Sprague’s role, combined with the culture and vision presented by Klein and the coaching staff, were key factors in his decision. Sprague is expected to compete for a starting spot immediately, providing leadership and depth to a unit looking to make a leap in 2026.
This commitment marks another major portal success for Kansas State, reinforcing the Wildcats’ strategy of targeting proven, high-level talent to accelerate competitiveness in the Big 12. Sprague’s passionate choice to join K-State not only strengthens the offensive line but also sends a clear message: the Wildcats are serious players in the transfer market.
