“I just want to try to get on the field and do whatever my teammates and coaches ask of me,” Van Wyhe said via direct message to EMAW Online
He commits to K-State after visiting Bill Snyder Family Stadium for the Wildcats’ final home game of the season vs. Kansas.
“It was electric seeing all the people there before the game and then seeing them pack in the stadium,” he wrote.
This season, Van Wyhe played in 10 games for Iowa Central Community College. In his 10 games this season, he recorded 73.0 tackles, 3.5 sacks and 3.0 forced fumbles. His best game of the season came on Sept. 3 when he had 13.0 tackles and a tackle for loss in a win at Garden City.
