Breaking: Kansas State Lands Commitment for Another Highly Rated 5-Star

5-Star’s verbal commitment on Saturday at 4 p.m. capped what could be one of the most successful recruiting weeks in Kansas State football history.

The Wildcats began the week on Monday by securing their first-ever five-star recruit, tight end Linkon Cure from Goodland, Kansas. Then, on Thursday, RJ Collins, a defensive back and one of Missouri’s fastest high school sprinters, also pledged to K-State.

Elston, a 5’9″, 180-pound running back from Parkview High School in Little Rock, Arkansas, chose K-State over Arkansas, Missouri, Georgia Tech, and UNLV. Last season, he rushed for 847 yards and 10 touchdowns on 59 carries, and added 887 yards and 11 touchdowns on 60 receptions.

Elston is the 15th high school player to commit to K-State this spring, joining a group that includes Linkon Cure, 6’6″, 225-pound tight end from Goodland (Kansas); Dillon Duff, 6’2″, 200-pound quarterback from Desmet (Missouri); Will Kemna, 6’5″, 260-pound defensive tackle from Helias Catholic (Missouri); Weston Polk, 6’2″, 210-pound linebacker from Coppell (Texas); Martel Jackson, 6’2″, 175-pound cornerback from Derby (Kansas); Adonis Moise, 6’1″, 180-pound wide receiver from IMG Academy (Florida); Dalton Knapp, 6’5″, 225-pound defensive end from All Saints Episcopal (Texas); Sawyer Schilke, 6’3″, 230-pound linebacker from Kearney (Nebraska); JoJo Scott, 6’2″, 175-pound wide receiver from Victory Christian Academy, Lakeland (Florida); Maguire Richman, 6’2″, 210-pound linebacker from Blue Valley (Kansas); Brock Heath, 6’4″, 265-pound offensive lineman from Blue Valley Northwest (Kansas); RJ Collins, 5’11”, 175-pound defensive back from Staley (Missouri); and Dominic Mitchell, 6’1″, 195-pound safety from Brophy Prep (Arizona).
