It's time for the fullback, Jax Dineen, to get some love.
Q: When do you plan to get to Manhattan?
A: I move in on either June 6 or June 7.
Q: What is your height and weight?
A: I am 5-foot-10 1/2 and 238 pounds.
Q: Who are the fellow recruits/commits you speak with the most?
A: I obviously talk with Keenan (Garber) every day. I also speak quite a bit with Joshua Youngblood.
Q: What have you been working on since your season ended?
A: I've just been getting ready for the summer and working on my agility.
Q: What is the No. 1 thing about K-State that won you over?
A: It was either the family environment or the new coaching staff.
Q: What are your goals for your first season at Kansas State?
A: I want to get on the field as much as possible. I just want to do what's best for the team.
Q: What is something that people would think is unique about you?
A: My whole family is pretty much full of KU athletics graduates. But I'm choosing my own way. I'm going to K-State.
Q: What school finished second in your recruitment?
A: KU and North Dakota State were also in the running.
Q: Which current assistant coach are you closest with?
A: I'd say I'm very close with coach (Courtney) Messingham. I was able to talk to him a lot at North Dakota State when he was there.
Q: What advice would you give to younger recruits now that you have gone through it?
A: Pick out the real from the fake news in recruiting. See who genuinely cares about you and isn't just trying to trap you into their program.
