Kansas State LB Zach Wittenberg is a special-teams rock with blue-collar reliability
Wittenberg is the kind of depth piece coaches trust: in the 2025 season, he played in nine games for Kansas State mainly on special teams and finished with three special-teams tackles, tying for second on the team. He also brings strong off-field value — Academic All-Big 12 honors in 2023 and 2024-25, plus leadership-council and community-service credentials — which usually signals a high-IQ, low-drama player who will do the dirty work. If your team wants a tough, experienced, assignment-sound linebacker who can help on coverage units and raise the room’s professionalism, he fits.
