MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State’s 2022 signing class grew by four members on Wednesday, as head coach Chris Klieman announced the signing of its newest players for the 2022 season. In addition to the 13 signees in December, K-State’s Class of 2022 now includes 17 players.

The latest signees are quarterback Adryan Lara (Goodyear, Ariz.; Desert Edge), defensive back Jacob Parrish (Olathe, Kan.; Olathe North), athlete Tyson Struber (Galva, Kan.; Canton-Galva) and community-college defensive tackle Vaai Seumalo (Maunaloa, Hawai’i; Garden City CC).

Parrish and Struber are the third and fourth Wildcats from the state of Kansas, as K-State has signed at least four from the Sunflower State every year since 2010. Seumalo will be the first K-State football player to hail from the state of Hawai’i since 2003 (Peni Holakeituai and Jesse Keaulana-Kamakea).

In addition to the 17-man signing class, K-State has five FBS transfers that have enrolled in school in time for spring practices in defensive back Josh Hayes (Lakeland, Fla.; Univ. of Virginia), linebacker Will Honas (Wichita, Kan.; Univ. of Nebraska), linebacker Branden Jennings (Jacksonville, Fla.; Univ. of Maryland), quarterback Adrian Martinez (Fresno, Calif.; Univ. of Nebraska) and defensive back Shawn Robinson (Saginaw, Texas; Univ. of Missouri).
