Kansas State Lands In-State TE Arley Morrell After Klein's First Public Offer

The former Iowa State signee committed following his release prompted by Matt Campbell's move to Penn State.

Overview

  • Morrell announced his pledge on Monday, Dec. 15, less than a day after receiving Kansas State's offer.
  • At 6-foot-6 and 210 pounds, he is the No. 57 tight end in the 2026 class and the second-best available player in Kansas, per the 247Sports Composite.
  • The pickup helps fill a tight end need for the Wildcats, who had no 2026 signee at the position and expect Brayden Loftin and Andrew Metzger to enter the transfer portal.
  • He posted 36 receptions for 504 yards and seven touchdowns last season and added 46 carries for 206 yards.
  • He told Rivals he had heard from Auburn and Missouri before choosing K-State, whose 2026 class ranks No. 50 nationally with the portal opening Jan. 2 and the next signing period starting Feb. 4.
