Kansas State Wildcats quarterback Avery Johnson is in need of top receiving target after Jayce Brown transferred to play for the LSU Tigers in the offseason.
So the Wildcats hit the transfer portal to make sure it happened.

They got Joshua Manning from the Missouri Tigers but another player to watch is Hawaii transfer Brandon White. Last year he had 38 receptions for 399 yards and two touchdowns for the Rainbows.
He's already had an impressive spring that led to Johnson saying he's one of his favorite targets. A senior, White also brings experience and leadership to the position.
"(White) is the hardest to guard one-on-one," K-State quarterback Avery Johnson said on 3MAW at Big 12 Media Days. "His change of direction, his route running, his speed – every safety, every corner will tell you he's the hardest guy to stay in front of. So I've just got to get him the ball in space and let him do his thing with it after. He's a friendly YAC (yards after catch) receiver."
This is the third stop for White, who began his collegiate career at Kentucky. He didn't receive much playing time his two seasons in Lexington, thus the transfer route.

MEET AND GREET SET
This is perhaps the most anticipated football season for the Kansas State Wildcats in recent years.
It marks the first year of the coach Collin Klein era. He replaced the successful Chris Klieman, who resigned unexpectedly following last year's 6-6 finish. A former Wildcats star, Klein has hopes of making them once again a contender in the Big 12 conference.
And fans can have their to meet Klein and the players Aug. 22 at the annual "Meet the Cats" event at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. Gates open at 11 a.m.
Klein and players will be available for autographs. So will the men's and women's basketball teams, which start their seasons in November. He played his high school ball at Ohio power Archbishop Moeller in Cincinnati.
