The first day of the early signing period for football is tomorrow, but the big news to start the week is that Kansas State star running back Deuce Vaughn has earned a nod on the AP’s All-American First Team as the team’s all-purpose back. Vaughn becomes the first Wildcat to earn a spot on the AP First Team since Jordy Nelson received the honor back in 2007 after his record-breaking season. The AP voters appear to value offensive production, overall yards, and total team impact more than the Big 12 voters, who foolishly selected Baylor’s Trestan Ebner in that same spot on the AP All-Big 12 First Team last week.
