Joshua David Rivas (b. April 12, 1999) is a big offensive lineman who developed during his redshirt season and now will compete for playing time while continuing his development.
He was a three-star-rated player by Rivals who also had offers from Arkansas, Kansas, Memphis, Missouri and Purdue, but he apparently has been a K-State fan since the age of 5, when he was watching Darren Sproles dance around people.
Rivas played for under head coach Ryan Cornelsen for Hutchinson High School. He was regarded as the 50th-best guard in the Class of 2017 by ESPN, while he was rated the third-best player in the state of Kansas by ESPN and 247Sports.
