07/30/22 - DT Eli Huggins, rSr/2023, Kansas State

Chris Klieman knew how valuable Eli Huggins had been to Kansas State's defense for the past couple of years. He also knew that as a senior in 2021, Huggins had a decision to make. An NCAA ruling granted players active during the coronavirus pandemic an extra year of eligibility, and Klieman and his staff didn't want to push too hard, regardless of how badly they wanted him to stick around. "We didn't know if he was going to come back and we let him have a bit of time," Klieman said of Huggins, a 6-foot-4, 297-pound defensive tackle from Cumming, Ga. "And then a bunch of us kind of went at him hard and said: 'We want you back. We need you back,' and he said, 'I want to do this one more time.' "So to be here six years, to go through all he went through, he really deserved the opportunity to." Eli Huggins says he has something to prove.

As it turned out, it didn't take a lot of prodding to convince Huggins to come back. After the season, which ended with a 42-20 Texas Bowl victory over LSU, he consulted with teammates who had taken advantage of the COVID year in 2021 and decided it was the best path for him as well. "I wasn't ready (to leave), man," Huggins said. "I felt like I had more to prove. I knew we'd have a great opportunity this year with a ton of good guys coming back (and) it didn't feel right to leave yet. "I love Manhattan too much. It's such a good place and just the best option for me was to come back." - Topeka Capital Journal
