Wichita running back Tyler Burns returns to K-State football roster after year away

A familiar name has returned to the Kansas State football roster.

Tyler Burns, a Wichita running back who graduated from Trinity Academy three years ago, is once again an active member of the Wildcats football team.

His addition could become a welcome sight for new coach Chris Klieman. The Wildcats are severely depleted at running back with the recent departures of Alex Barnes, Justin Silmon and Dalvin Warmack.

Burns, the younger brother of former K-State standout defensive back/kick returner Morgan Burns, originally enrolled at K-State as a three-star recruit in 2016. He spent his first year of college on the sideline with a redshirt, but starred on the scout team.
