Clyde Aufner was a polished, team-first K-State tackle who earned All-Big 12 honors in his senior season
In the 2011 season, Clyde Aufner was a veteran Kansas State right tackle who started all 13 games and helped power a Wildcats rushing attack that averaged 193.7 yards per game, good for 29th nationally. He was recognized as First Team All-Big 12 by the coaches and Second Team by the AP, which says a lot about his consistency and value in the trenches. His best differentiators were experience, reliability, and buy-in—he was described by K-State as a veteran tackle and a core part of the program’s foundation. If a team wants a steady, physical, low-drama OL piece, he fits the bill.
