  The easy move for Cooper Beebe would have been to stay put. After all, you'd be hard pressed to find a more productive left offensive tackle in the Big 12. But with Kansas State looking to fill three holes in the middle of the line - center and both guards - as well as a leadership void left by three senior starters, taking the easy way out is the last thing on Beebe's mind. "I have the most experience on the offensive line right now and I think I've definitely stepped up into the role," said Beebe, a 6-foot-4, 322-pound junior from Piper High School in Kansas City. "Last year obviously we had (Josh) Rivas, (Ben) Adler and Noah (Johnson) and some of those guys. "We lost a huge part, but I think I've done a great job stepping up and filling that (leadership) role." Good thing, too, because offensive line coach Conor Riley is not one to leave well enough alone. Not if he sees a way to make the Wildcats stronger up front.

So when Riley began searching for the right combination to replace Johnson at center along with guards Rivas and Adler, he immediately turned to Beebe, who not only is the Wildcats' most seasoned lineman, but arguably the most versatile as well. It started in the spring, with Beebe splitting time between guard and tackle, where last year he was a first-team all-Big 12 pick by both the conference coaches and media. And by the start of preseason camp two weeks ago, it looked more and more likely that left guard would be his new home. "It's obviously a lot different than going at tackle," said Beebe, who started one game at left guard as a redshirt freshman in 2020. "Having the spring and now fall camp at guard, I have gotten used to it by now, but it's a little difference coming back and changing into it." - Topeka Capital Journal
