Kansas State football draft fortunes have grown steadily in six years under coach Chris Klieman, evidence that the Wildcats continue to attract better talent.
The Wildcats have had multiple players selected in each of the past three seasons. That should not change in the 2025 NFL Draft, when up to three more could hear their names called.
As expected, no K-State player came off the board in Thursday's opening round, but that could change Friday with the second and third rounds scheduled to get underway at 6 p.m. central. The draft concludes Saturday, starting at 11 a.m., with rounds 4-7.
K-State cornerback Jacob Parrish and running back DJ Giddens are virtual locks to go in the middle rounds, while the consensus on safety Marques Sigle leans toward the final rounds. Most mock drafts have Parrish going in the third round Friday or possibly slipping to Saturday's fourth round, with Giddens also a high third-round possibility.

The high-water mark under Klieman came in 2023, when four Wildcats were picked, including defensive end Felix Anudike-Uzomah to the Kansas City Chiefs in the first round and cornerback Julius Brents to the Indianapolis Colts in the second. Last year, K-State had three players selected, led by tight end Ben Sinnott to the Washington Commanders in the second round and offensive lineman Cooper Beebe to the Dallas Cowboys in the third.
Here's what you need to know about each of the Wildcat players picked in the 2025 NFL Draft.
We will update below as each former K-State player is selected.
