Kansas State student pens apology for body-checking Jamari Traylor

Kansas State student Nathan Power wrote a Letter to the Editor published in the Kansas State Collegian on Tuesday admitting he was the man seen body checking Kansas player Jamari Traylor during a court-storming Monday after the Wildcats beat the Jayhawks.

Video of the incident show a man jumping into Traylor and knocking him to his left. Traylor did not retaliate.

Kansas State police are investigating the incident and were hoping to identify the person who appeared to purposely run into Traylor during the postgame celebration. Here is a look at what Power said in his letter.

Kansas State police tweeted late Tuesday afternoon that they were no longer looking for the person of interest involved in the incident. It's unclear if they have contacted Power and if he was arrested or ticketed.

Kansas State athletic director John Currie apologized Tuesday morning to Kansas coach Bill Self and his players for not properly providing security for the Jayhawks. Self was critical of the lack of security in his postgame remarks.

There were several other incidents on the court besides the one in which Traylor was bumped. A Kansas assistant coach grabbed a Kansas State fan a redirected him as he appeared to taunt kansas players.
