Justin Stephens brings local chemistry and polished depth to K-State’s WR room
In the 2025 season, Kansas State redshirted Justin Stephens, so the early read is more about upside than box-score impact. The Wichita native is a 6-2, 198-pound receiver with proven production at Butler CC — 41 catches for 547 yards and 2 touchdowns over two seasons — plus a high school track record of 96 receptions and 18 receiving TDs, which hints at real playmaking juice. His biggest differentiator is chemistry with quarterback Avery Johnson from their Maize High days, giving him an instant familiarity edge and a chance to be a trusted, steady fit rather than just another camp body.
