Kansas State’s breakout-sized TE with mismatch juice
In the 2026 season, Linkon Cure enters as one of Kansas State’s most intriguing pass-game weapons: a 6-foot-5, 242-pound sophomore who can line up split wide, in the slot, or inline, giving the Wildcats real formation flexibility. He caught 6 passes for 37 yards in 2025 while starting the year injured and joining late, so the box score barely scratches the surface. Reliable coverage calls him a “five-star” talent and a potential breakout, with his athletic ceiling and versatility standing out more than raw production—classic “watch the tape, not just the stat line” energy.
