Kansas State’s relentless, versatile safety and special teams grinder
Jet Dineen enters the 2026 season as a fifth-year safety for Kansas State, valued more for toughness, football IQ, and special-teams reliability than flash. In 2024, he played in every game and logged 125 special-teams snaps, showing the kind of buy-in coaches love; he’s also been recognized for strong academics and reportedly set a safeties weight-room record by squatting 510 pounds. At 5-foot-10 and 200 pounds, he profiles as a high-effort, physical depth piece who fits a program that prizes grit, preparation, and hidden-yardage impact.
