Dalton Knapp brings size, burst, and upside to K-State’s edge room
In the 2025 season, Dalton Knapp arrived at Kansas State as a 6-4, 239-pound sophomore defensive end with redshirt eligibility and no recorded college game action yet, which makes him more projection than production right now[1][8]. The buzz is his frame, athletic upside, and disruptive high-school résumé: as a senior at All Saints Episcopal, he posted 79 tackles, 32.5 tackles for loss, and 15 sacks, with recruiting outlets labeling him a high-upside edge prospect[7][10][12]. He looks like a developmental fit for a team that values length, effort, and long-term ceiling over instant-impact polish[7][11].
