dependable Kansas State linebacker and special-teams tone-setter
Palmer is a senior Kansas State linebacker whose value comes from dependability, physicality, and special-teams impact more than headline stats: in 2025 he played in 10 games and recorded three special-teams tackles, while his career includes 38 games, two starts, and 335 defensive snaps after arriving as a walk-on.[2][1] He also brings verified production when healthy, including 25 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, a sack, and a pass breakup in 2024 before a knee injury ended that season, so he fits best as a tough, experienced depth piece who can help on coverage units and provide steady linebacker reps when needed.[2][8]
