A Redshirted QB from 2010–2012 with No Recent K-State Activity
Sam Johnson is not the current Kansas State QB; that role belongs to Avery Johnson, a 6'2", 200-lb sophomore who bulked up 10 lbs, hit 23 mph in speed tests, and posted 2,712 yards, 25 TDs, and 10 INTs in 2024, plus 2,385 yards and 18 TDs in 2025 with a 69.3 QBR [1][2][7]. Sam Johnson (No. 15) redshirted in 2010, saw no action in 2011, and only logged game-by-game stats in 2012 before leaving the roster [8]. If you’re scouting for a current fit, Sam Johnson offers no recent performance data, while Avery Johnson stands out for agility (91), awareness (93), and an 88 overall rating in EA Sports College Football 27 [6][9]. Care about Avery: he leads a beefed-up Wildcats roster built to dominate the Big 12, handles heavy responsibility under the spotlight, and brings elite intensity and a 9-4 team record in 2024 [2][10].
