  It took Drew Wiley three seasons to become a regular contributor on Kansas State's interior defensive line. As a junior, he filled the role admirably, providing solid relief for seniors Trey Dishon and Jordan Mittie while essentially auditioning for 2020. So, with the Wildcats in the unenviable position of having to replace both starting defensive tackles - and in a year where the coronavirus pandemic wiped out spring practice, no less - it became critical for Wiley, a senior from Vinton, Iowa, to step up to the challenge. At 6-foot-4, 300 pounds, he had proven himself as an effective run stopper, deployed primarily in short-yardage situations as a true freshman in 2017 and again the following season. Last year, as part of the rotation with Dishon and Mittie, he recorded 16 tackles, including the first two for loss.

But that was just a preview of what was to come for Wiley, who in his first six career starts this season for the 4-2 Wildcats also has become a feared pass-rusher. He was one of the few bright spots last Saturday in K-State's 37-10 loss - the first in five league games - at West Virginia. "I thought Drew Wiley played his tail off," K-State coach Chris Klieman said after Wiley made a career-high seven stops, including 2.5 for loss and a sack against the Mountaineers. "I thought Drew Wiley was really, really good. "Drew is having an all-conference season, and I'm really happy with the way he's playing right now." - Topeka Capital Journal
