It’s that time of year when the NFL Draft previews start popping up, and so far two Kansas State players have had the attention of sportswriters.
In today’s pile of stories, Andrew Parish of Last Word on Sports has Briley Moore pegged for a sixth-round selection, while Mia O’Brien of WTLV in Jacksonville is dead certain that if he’s still around in the seventh round the Jaguars will snap him up. As for Wyatt Hubert, Ian Cummings at Pro Football Network thinks he might have some value to certain teams in the seventh round, but isn’t sure he’ll be drafted.

The field at the Jim Click invitational is nothing to sneeze at. Indeed, the top five finishers in the women’s heptathlon posted scores that would leave them all within the top eight nationally at day’s end.
The top of that list: Kansas State senior Lauren Taubert, who set a personal best with 5,831 points to claim the victory on Friday. Taubert’s performance places her atop the NCAA competition list, and was 38 points better than her performance in the 2019 NCAA Championships.
Ariel Okorie, with 5,474 points, was the aforementioned fifth-place finisher and now sits eighth in Division I on the season.

Kansas State has a four-game winning streak after a hard-fought 2-1 win over Western Michigan on Sunday afternoon to complete a sweep of the three-game weekend series at Tointon.
In the fourth, the BatCats manufactured a run then got one the old-fashioned way as Zach Kokoska walked, stole second, moved to third on a groundout, and scored on a Dylan Phillips sacrifice fly. A two-out double by Daniel Carinci was cashed in when Terrence Spurlin singled, and K-State had a lead they’d never relinquish.
Connor McCullough turned in his second great start of the season, lasting 5

3 innings and giving up a lone run in the sixth before departing. C-Mac struck out six, walking only one, and two of the three hits he allowed were in the sixth inning.
