Another big man is on his way to Kansas State.
JT Rock, a center most recently at New Mexico, committed to the Wildcats on Monday. He averaged 6.2 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 0.9 blocks last season. Rock spent his freshman season at Iowa State, averaging 0.7 points and 0.7 rebounds in just nine games of action.
Rock also shot 37.9 percent from 3-point range, knocking down the most 3-pointers by a big man in the school's history. His ability to hit on the perimeter as a big man should play right into the Wildcats' game plan. Dorin Buca was a great center in the paint, but his lack of perimeter presence made him relatively one-dimensional.
Here are the other additions Kansas State has made so far:
Jaden Schutt, Junior Guard
2025-26 STATS: 7.7 PTS, 1.6 REB, 0.9 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 13
Schutt spent his first two seasons with Duke before his two-year tenure with Virginia Tech. He shot 38.4 percent from the floor and 38.5 percent from 3-point range. Hopefully, Schutt's sharpshooting can be utilized in a Wildcats offense that succeeded on the perimeter.
Brandon Rechsteiner, Junior Guard
2025-26 STATS: 12 PTS, 2.2 REB, 2.5 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 10
Brandon Rechsteiner is a junior guard from Colorado State and the son of WWE legend Scott "Steiner" Rechsteiner. He averaged 12 points, 2.2 rebounds, and 2.5 assists last season. Rechsteiner had a career season in production, ascending in every statistical category, including shooting 40 percent from 3-point range.
Dezdrick Lindsay, Junior Forward
2025-26 STATS: 5.3 PTS, 2.8 REB, 1.5 AST
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 10
The program also added Dezdrick Lindsay, a redshirt junior forward who played at Oregon. He averaged 5.3 points, 2.8 rebounds, and 1.5 assists this past season, starting in eight games for the Ducks. Lindsay will hopefully add the forward depth the program desperately needed last season amid several major injuries.
Brock Vice, Sophomore Forward
2025-26 STATS: 2.0 PTS, 2.0 REB
ANNOUNCEMENT DATE: Apr. 8
Vice didn't get a lot of playing time last season, but he could serve as solid frontcourt depth for the Wildcats. Their forwards were depleted last season, as Khamari McGriff, Mobi Ikegwuruka, and Elias Rapieque barely stayed on the court consistently, let alone together.
