Kansas State Wildcats
· 2026-07-03
Kansas State Wildcats have landed the top 2027 prospect in Kansas, Cooper Ohnmacht, a 4-star athlete from Great Bend.
He announced his commitment to Collin Klein and Kansas State football on June 7.
Ohnmacht picked K-State over the likes of Wisconsin, Penn State, Kansas, and others.
He's a consensus four-star athlete who plays both wide receiver and safety.
This commitment is significant for Kansas State, as Ohnmacht is the first top-ranked in-state player to commit to the Wildcats since offensive tackle Gus Hawkins signed in 2024.
Ohnmacht's addition brings the total number of four-star prospects in Klein's 2027 class to three.
The Wildcats' 2027 recruiting class is now ranked No. 36 nationally, according to the 247Sports Composite.
Kansas State's next game is against the Nicholls Colonels on September 5, 2026.
Ohnmacht's commitment is a boost to the team's recruiting efforts, and he joins other notable commits like tight end Ben Hynek and offensive tackle Brayden Harris.
He caught 52 passes for 755 yards and eight touchdowns last season, while also intercepting five passes on defense.
Ohnmacht's official visit to Manhattan took place from June 19-21, and he apparently liked what he saw.
The Wildcats are looking to build on their recruiting momentum, and Ohnmacht's commitment is a big step in that direction.
Collin Klein and his staff have been working hard to bring in top talent, and it's paying off.
Ohnmacht is ranked as the nation's No. 324 overall player and No. 20 athlete on the 247Sports Composite.
He's a talented player who can make an impact on both sides of the ball.
The Wildcats' recruiting class is shaping up to be a strong one, and Ohnmacht's commitment is a big part of that.
