Lucas Krull is already plenty familiar with Kansas State, thanks in large part to a father who played football under Bill Snyder and a mother who was part of the women's basketball program.

The junior college tight end prospect's parents met while athletes at K-State, so Krull was certainly aware of what K-State is all about from a family perspective.

Still, Krull needed a shot to see K-State as a recruit himself, which he had late this week in Manhattan.

"It was very good. It was an honor to get in there and see Coach Snyder again. I haven't seen him since I was little," Krull told KSO. "It was really a great time having my parents with me and pictures taken with them. They got my mom and dad's jersey numbers right and everything, it was pretty cool - a legacy pic.

"I really enjoyed the time and what they have to offer if I end up at Kansas State."

There's been plenty of talk this off-season about how K-State - now with Andre Coleman as its offensive coordinator - will incorporate the tight end position into its offense.

That's also certainly something the 6-foot-7, 255-pound Krull, who hasn't played competitive football since high school, is interested in and discussed on his visit.

"For me it will be about getting the rust knocked off as quick as I can and getting the formations, playbook, everything learned as quickly as possible. As soon as I'm ready to play, that's when I'll get a chance to be on the field," he said. "At K-State it would be a tight end, but all over the field really. They talked about trying to get me one on one, flex me in and out, move me all over the place. That was really intriguing"

Krull - who was selected this past week in the Major League Baseball Draft but is focused 100 percent on college football - doesn't expect the wait for his decision to be a long one.

There is talk of some other schools trying to get involved, but the final choice will likely come down to K-State, Missouri and Florida - three schools Krull has visited in the last week.

He expects to make his decision sometime next week, barring anything unexpected, and it's a decision his K-State family will respect no matter what.

Even if they do have a clear preference.

"With everything I've done they've been super supportive on any decision I make. That's the best thing I can ask for," Krull said. "They realize the decision is mine and it's about what makes me happy and feel at home.

"They of course want me to go to Kansas State," he added. "They are not pushing me, but it's a legacy a place they went to school and love."
