  Ask Phillip Brooks what he expects to accomplish this upcoming season and the senior Kansas State receiver will respond with a question of his own. Did you see the bowl game? His thinking: If you watched Brooks catch a team-high five passes for 69 yards while the Wildcats dismantled LSU 42-20 last January at the Texas Bowl, then you've already had a sneak peek at what he is capable of doing under new offensive coordinator Collin Klein. "My biggest asset is my quickness and my speed," Brooks said. "I will help a lot with that when it comes to underneath routes and getting open in space, making moves after the catch." It's exciting to think about what an expanded role might look like for Brooks.

The 5-foot-7 and 169-pound Lee's Summit West product has long been dangerous with the ball in his hands, but his best highlights have mostly come as a punt returner. Remember the time he returned a pair of punts for touchdowns against Kansas two years ago? Now he seems ready to start making more big plays as a wide receiver. Last season could be considered a mini breakout for him in that area, as he caught 43 passes for 543 yards and two touchdowns. Those numbers were huge improvements over his first three seasons in purple, when he caught a total of 41 passes for 366 yards and one score. At that rate of improvement, it's possible he could lead the Wildcats in catches this season. Maybe he could even push for 1,000 yards, something that hasn't been done in Manhattan since Tyler Lockett and Curry Sexton both accomplished the feat in 2014. - The Kansas City Star
