There’s still quite a bit of uncertainty concerning the 2026 Kansas State football roster, but one thing is known: the Wildcats still have their quarterback.
On Friday afternoon, soon-to-be senior signal caller Avery Johnson announced on social media that he would be returning to K-State for his final collegiate season under new head coach Collin Klein.
“After a lot of prayer and conversations with my family, and talks with my coaches, I’ve made the decision to return to Kansas State for my final year,” Johnson said. “There is unfinished business here, and I’m not done yet. This place, this program and this fan base mean everything to me. The relationships I’ve built, the culture we’ve created, and the goals we still have ahead of us are too important to walk away from.
