Getting to Know... Rahsaan York
KSO is going to help you get to know all of the members of the 2018 Kansas State recruiting class who were not present for spring football.
We continue this series with junior college linebacker signee Rahsaan York.
1. When do you plan to get to Manhattan?
I am supposed to be officially up to Manhattan after I finish my summer class in July.
2. What’s your height and weight right this moment?
I'm six feet and 215 pounds.
3. What fellow recruits/current players are you talking most with?
I’ve spoken most to Daron Bowles, who was actually my host when I went on my official visit to Kansas State. He's a very good and funny dude who told me a lot about the program.
4. What have you been working on since your season ended?
I've been working to become more explosive. I want to have better strength and speed because the level of competition in the Big 12 is ridiculous. That's why I’ve been working on upping my game all-around.
5. What would you need to get better at to play early?
To play early, I feel like I have the skill. It’s more about learning the schemes and defense. That is what will be key to playing time.
6. What are your goals for your first season?
My goal as a junior college guy coming in is to make an impact on the team and be an asset to the defense. I want to work hard to help bring wins to the program. As far as individual goals, I want to start and shock the Big 12.
7. Tell me something people think is unique about you?
Something unique about me is that I have four younger brothers.
8. What school finished second in your recruitment?
Kansas.
9. What assistant are you the closest with?
I think the assistant that I became close with was Taylor Godinet. It was because he is a California guy and we had some good conversations while I was over there about being away from home and how everything is at the college level. He's a very genuine guy.
10. What advice would you give to other recruits after going through the process?
Some advice I would give recruits is to not listen to what people have to say about how you go about your own recruitment. Go with your gut feelings and choose the school that is right for you, not someone else.
