The Kansas State football team has landed a junior-college linebacker that could help the Wildcats next season.
Cody Fletcher, a 6-foot-1, 220-pound defender from Tyler Junior College in Texas, committed to K-State following a recruiting visit this weekend. A sophomore who led his team with 104 tackles last season, he will transfer to Manhattan this summer and be eligible to play immediately.
He will have three years of eligibility at K-State.
Fletcher planned to remain in junior college for one more season and then try to transfer to a Division I school, but that changed when K-State coaches offered him a scholarship.
