MANHATTAN
Trey Dishon and Reggie Walker didn’t know what to expect when they walked onto the football field for their game against Stanford.
Would they be nervous? How would the game compare to practice? Could they tackle Heisman candidate Christian McCaffrey?
These are the questions you ponder before playing in your first college game, especially as a redshirt freshman. Rarely do underclassmen start for the Wildcats. A pair of K-State rookies playing together on the defensive line feels as common as a four-leaf clover.
But K-State fans will see plenty of it this season. Dishon, a defensive tackle from Horton, and Walker, a defensive end from Ponchatoula, La.
