MANHATTAN — Standout Kansas State football wide receiver Jayce Brown exited the Wildcats' game against UCF on Saturday, Sept. 27, with an undisclosed injury early in the first quarter.
The Wildcats won the game 34-20 at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Brown didn't record any stats. He was seen on the sideline in sweatpants after the game, interacting with teammates throughout the contest. He was not listed on any of K-State's injury reports heading into the week.
Brown was the Wildcats' leading wide receiver entering the game, catching 25 passes for 284 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He also has three rushes for 104 yards and a score.
Kansas State coach Chris Klieman said after the game that Brown had been dealing with something in the days leading up to the game.
"He went out there, we thought it was good and thought it was clear," Klieman said. "Then when he went full-speed, it was like 'Nah, I can't go.'"
Klieman added that he hoped to have Brown for next week's game at Baylor .
Jaron Tibbs led the Wildcats in receiving, catching eight passes for 72 yards.
