  Draft Scout by Conference









  It took longer than some expected for K-State to recover from the loss of Khalid Duke last season. When he suffered a torn ACL during the final nonconference game of the year against Nevada, the Wildcats scrambled to find anyone else on the roster capable of filling his defensive end/linebacker hybrid role. Klieman went so far as to say he built around K-State's 3-3-5 defense around him. Duke had six tackles, including a pair of sacks, in his three games before injury last year. As a sophomore, he made 26 tackles. The good news is he is expected back this season. The bad news is that Klieman has said Duke's recovery process has been slowed by a separate hamstring injury.

For now, it's unclear when (and how much) he will be ready to help the Wildcats again. The Wildcats didn't have a typical run through spring practice. The vast majority of K-State's defensive linemen were out with injuries, Martinez wasn't cleared to throw until the final few workouts and Vaughn was often withheld from live action for safety reasons. How will all those players react when they return to the practice field at full strength this week? Fine, most likely. But a few players may need a little time to shake off some proverbial rust. - The Kansas City Star
