  When Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman announced last summer that Taylor Poitier was going to miss the 2021 season with a torn ACL, some shrugged off the news because they didn't comprehend how much of an impact he was expected to make on the offensive line. The 6-foot-2 junior from Bishop Miege had only played in four games for the Wildcats, and they all came during a COVID-shortened season that resulted in just four victories. It was natural for some to wonder if K-State would really miss him up front.

But make no mistake: the Wildcats are expecting big things from Poitier now that he is healthy and poised to take over as the team's starting right guard. "Taylor Poitier might've been our best offensive lineman last year," K-State coach Chris Klieman said last week at a Catbacker event, "but he lost his year to an ACL. He's a load in there. We get him back, which is really good." That is saying a lot, considering Cooper Beebe was an All-Big 12 selection last season. "He's a competitive young man," added K-State offensive coordinator Collin Klein. "He's extremely twitchy and very smart, so when he gets a double team on him he works his way out of it. He is incredibly strong and he has a lot of snap. It's huge (to have him back). It gives you a lot of flexibility in how you put the pieces together inside." - The Kansas City Star
