K-State coverage at KCSN
John Kurtz, Cole Manbeck and Derek Young break down the latest transfer portal pickup for K-State football, how he impacts the offensive line, what it means, other football updates and where K-State basketball stands.
JB Nelson, a transfer out of Penn State was the recent big addition to the Wildcats football program. The six-foot-five 326-pound senior defensive tackle played in 31 games for the Nittany Lions, including every game last fall. He was a staple along the defensive line that took PSU deep into the college football playoff.


KCSN’s coverage on the K-State Wildcats is featured by the extremely popular podcast, “3MAW,” hosted by John Kurtz, Cole Manbeck and Derek Young.
Kurtz, Manbeck and Young are very well-known in K-State circles and all have experience covering the Wildcats in-person through radio, television and digital opportunities.
3MAW records multiple times per week and has multiple recurring special guests throughout the year, including former K-State wide receiver and executive with WildcatNIL, Curry Sexton. KCSN has done multiple NIL deals with K-State student-athletes through 3MAW and WildcatNIL.
