While the safety unit for Kansas State has the most overall question marks due to the need to find three new starters, the linebacker corps isn’t far behind in the question department for 2022.
Daniel “Deuce” Green is back in the middle, and is one of the best linebackers in the conference. He’s been a mainstay in the middle of the K-State defense since he saw action in all 13 games during his redshirt-freshman season of 2019, became a regular starter in 2020, and earned Honorable Mention All-Big 12 honors for his work during the 2021 season after leading the team in tackles (89) and tackles for loss (16) — something you love to see from your starting middle linebacker.
