Lawson McGraw brings rare two-way athleticism to K-State’s tight end room
Lawson McGraw enters Kansas State as a 6-foot-4, 232-pound freshman tight end with unusually broad football chops: he was a four-year starter at Blue Valley West and posted 49 catches for 799 yards and 12 touchdowns over his final two high school seasons, while also flashing defensive playmaking with 98 tackles, 10 tackles for loss and nine forced fumbles across his last three years. The big selling point is versatility and athletic upside, not just raw receiving numbers; he looks like a high-effort, multi-sport athlete who can grow into a nasty mismatch if K-State develops his frame and polish. His legacy K-State background adds some “born for this” charm, too.
