Brendan Mott is Kansas State’s seasoned backfield disruptor
Brendan Mott entered 2026 as a proven edge presence for Kansas State: in the 2024 season, he started all 13 games and posted 49 tackles, 11.5 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, an interception and a fumble recovery, earning All-Big 12 first-team and Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year honors. At 6-foot-5 and 244 pounds, his game is built on length, motor and real pass-rush production—he’s the kind of defender who changes protections, not just box scores. If your team values consistent edge pressure and a high-effort leader, he’s absolutely worth the hype.
