Kansas freshman Max Manske is a developmental interior lineman with hometown upside
Manske is a 2026 freshman offensive lineman at Kansas, listed at 6-foot-3 and 265 pounds, and he brings guard/tackle versatility from St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park, where he was a two-time Kansas state champion. He’s not a stat-sheet player yet, but that’s the point with young OL: the appeal is long-term development, positional flexibility, and a Kansas kid who already knows how to win. If your team wants a raw, coachable lineman with local pedigree and room to add functional mass, he’s a solid fit.
