Ian Rudzik brings old-school toughness and special-teams grit to K-State
A tough, physical linebacker from Ulysses, Kansas, Rudzik’s best differentiators are his run-stopping edge, special-teams value, and relentless physical style—he was praised by Kansas State as a player who “shined on special teams” and kept competing for linebacker snaps. In his Kansas State career, he logged six special-teams tackles in 2017, all on kickoff coverage, and was described as a redshirt freshman with a grinder’s mentality. One caution flag: his college career was shortened by concussion issues, so fit depends on medical clearance and how much upside a team wants to bet on.
