The late addition of Jonathan Banks to Kansas State’s crowded quarterback race came as a surprise to many, but it was the culmination of tireless recruiting efforts by those within the program, football coach Bill Snyder said Wednesday.
The Wildcats had been searching for an extra dual-threat quarterback since Daniel Sams transferred to McNeese State in the spring of 2014.
“We were searching,” Snyder said during an interview at the Wichita Catbackers annual banquet. “We had our quarterbacks lined up quite well and then Daniel Sams left and that took us out of the pecking order. Now we need somebody in that spot and we need somebody that can hopefully compete.
