Kansas State dipped into the Sunflower State for their next commit, adding 2025 cornerback Martel Jackson to the class.
Jackson announced his commitment via his personal Twitter account following a quick recruiting saga that spanned about 10 days.
Jackson received an offer from the Wildcats on May 30 following an impressive camp at K-State. Following the camp, Jackson scheduled an official visit for this weekend and committed immediately after it.

The 6-foot-2 cornerback fits the mold of a K-State cornerback, showcasing the size and athletic profile to fit into the K-State defense. His experience at a school like Derby High School, which went 11-2 last season, also helps. Jackson played in 12 games for Derby last season, totaling 37 tackles in his junior season.
Jackson is the fourth player to commit to K-State's 2025 class. Quarterback Dillon Duff was the program's first commitment. He was followed by linebacker Weston Polk and offensive tackle Will Kemna. He's the class's first commit from Kansas.
