Kansas State’s Weston Polk is a high-motor linebacker and special-teams weapon
Polk entered Kansas State as a well-regarded inside linebacker prospect and, in 2025, he played in all 12 games mainly on special teams, logging 169 special-teams snaps and three tackles while earning trust across all four core units. He’s a 6-foot-1, 218-pound, tough, high-effort defender with good speed and pursuit traits, plus the kind of versatility coaches value when building depth. The main question for a team is not upside—it’s role fit, because his current impact is more in coverage, tackling, and energy than as a proven every-down linebacker.
