KANSAS STATE WILDCATS
The Kansas State Wildcats binder has a solid stack of Prizm Draft Picks and some Prizm Black, including a bunch of Avery Johnson rookies. No autos yet, but I keep ripping packs like an idiot, so who knows. Looking ahead, next year’s draft class should add some fresh purple blood to this pile—assuming they don’t all transfer first.
Kansas State went 9-4 in 2024 and won the Rate Bowl, then slipped to 6-6 in 2025 before Chris Klieman announced his retirement and former Wildcat quarterback Collin Klein was named head coach. Running back DJ Giddens rushed for 1,343 yards in 2024 and 1,226 yards in 2023 before declaring for the 2025 NFL Draft, where he was selected by the Indianapolis Colts in the fifth round. Quarterback Avery Johnson threw for 2,712 yards and 25 touchdowns in 2024 while rushing for 605 yards and seven touchdowns, establishing himself as a dual-threat talent whose cards gained traction after his breakout sophomore season, while Giddens' departure to the NFL created collector interest in his final college season cards.
Where they stand: The Wildcats enter the 2026 season under first-year head coach Collin Klein, with starting quarterback Avery Johnson announcing his return for his senior season. Kansas State is 0-0 heading into their 2026 campaign, with their season opener scheduled for September 5 against Nicholls. The program is in transition mode following the coaching change and the loss of their star running back to the NFL.
