Van Lith is joining a TCU program that made the AP Top 25 this season before injuries forced the Horned Frogs to forfeit two games and hold open tryouts to bolster the roster.
With the 73rd overall pick in the third round, the Dallas Cowboys selected Kansas State offensive guard Cooper Beebe. Beebe is the first K-State offensive lineman to be selected since the 2019 NFL Draft when the Denver Broncos selected Dalton Risner in the second round.
Kansas State didn't have to wait long to be represented in the 2024 NFL Draft. With the 53rd overall pick in the second round, the Washington Commanders selected tight end Ben Sinnott. Sinnott is the first K-State tight end drafted since Shad Meier who was a third-round pick in 2001.
Lamont Butler, who made the game-winning shot that sent San Diego State to the 2023 Final Four, reportedly is joining Mark Pope's Kentucky squad.
