It’s too early for any of Kansas State’s new football coaches to provide in-depth analysis on most of the players they will begin tutoring next month during spring practices, but they can already tell they like what they have at quarterback in Skylar Thompson.
“Skylar is a very good leader,” K-State offensive coordinator Courtney Messingham said. “In the short time I have been around him I think he understands transition can be good. I think he has embraced it and is ready to go and have a great spring. He will do a great job for us.”
Thompson returns as the Wildcats’ presumptive starter coming off a sophomore season in which he completed 122 of 208 passes for 1,391 yards and nine touchdowns.
