Kansas State returns some promise in Freshman All-American (Honorable Mention) Elijah Lee, and returning Junior Linebacker Will Davis.

Davis has been given an increasing amount of responsibility and playing time each year, and has answered the call. The Wildcats may also possess the best kept secret in the conference at the position in Charmeachelle Moore. After missing the 2014 season due to injury, Moore is back, and can usually be found disrupting opposing offenses when he finds himself on the field. If Moore can turn into a consistent playmaker for the Wildcats, they might end up with a reliable group of linebackers in 2015.
