Kansas State’s young, high-upside receiver still waiting for his breakout
Porter IV enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-1, 195-pound sophomore for Kansas State after not seeing game action in 2025, but his prep profile screams upside: he was the 93rd-ranked wide receiver in the 2025 class by On3 and piled up 1,410 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns as a Missouri high school senior in 2024. He looks like a developmental fit with big-play juice, polished production, and room to grow; the key question is whether Kansas State can unlock that athletic, versatile skill set into real Big 12 snaps.
