Episode Details

Sawyer Schilke, a towering redshirt freshman linebacker from Kearney, Nebraska, is poised to make waves for Kansas State in 2026. Standing 6’3” and packing 230 pounds, he’s already a high school standout — ESPN ranked him 46 among nation’s top inside linebackers and 8 in Nebraska. With over 200 tackles, 30 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks in high school, plus a school record for career TFLs, Schilke’s talent was undeniable. He held offers from North Dakota State, Northern Illinois, Iowa State, and even Nebraska before choosing KSU. Though he sat out last season, he’s got four years of eligibility left and is already working hard to climb the depth chart — starting with special teams and scout team duties. Watch this space — Schilke’s got the frame, the pedigree, and the drive to become a key piece for the Wildcats.
