Top junior college defensive end Marcus Hardison (Dodge City Community College) left Manhattan, Kan., last week scratching his head at all that he now has to contemplate.
The 6-foot-4, 275-pound edge rusher, ranked No. 5 in the ESPN Junior College 100, took his official visit to Kansas State over the weekend and came away thoroughly impressed with the atmosphere. He especially reminisced about an hour-long conversation he had with Wildcats head coach Bill Snyder.
“His message to me was basically telling me how great the people are in Manhattan and asking me what my goals were,” Hardison said. “Then we talked a little football. He told me a lot about the school. We really didn’t touch on football but more about life in general. It was a real cool experience. He is real cool. I like him a lot.”
