DeShawn Young Commits to Kansas State
Southlake Carroll offensive lineman DeShawn Young has committed to Kansas State University. The Class of 2026 prospect chose the Wildcats over offers from several other Power Five programs. Young's commitment to Kansas State is largely due to the team's athletic fit. The Wildcats' offense, which features a strong running game, aligns with Young's skills and playing style. Additionally, Young will have an opportunity to compete for a starting position on the team's depth chart. Kansas State's academic program, which offers a range of engineering and business courses, also appealed to Young. He had previously committed to another program but reopened his recruitment in April, allowing him to explore other options. Young's commitment to Kansas State marks a significant addition to the team's 2026 recruiting class.
