EMPORIA — Before beginning their college careers in Manhattan, three future Kansas State football players represented their hometowns one final time Saturday in the 2026 Kansas Shrine Bowl.
Preferred walk-ons Jackson Hollie of Junction City, Blake Jay of Mill Valley and Nash Morrison of Basehor-Linwood competed in the annual all-star game at Emporia State’s Welch Stadium, where the East defeated the West 14-7.
