Is Kansas State Finally Preparing To Unleash TE Linkon Cure?

Kansas State tight end Linkon Cure, the program’s first five-star recruit and a standout multi-sport athlete in high school, has yet to live up to his immense early hype. After catching just six passes for 37 yards and no touchdowns as a freshman, Cure remains a work in progress this season with five receptions for 50 yards and no scores.

However, with the Wildcats’ depth at tight end suddenly in flux—NFL prospect Garrett Oakley leading the position while Will Anciaux suffered a season-ending leg injury—Cure has seen his role expand. He responded with two catches for 27 yards in Kansas State’s loss to Houston, signaling coach Collin Klein’s growing confidence in integrating him more prominently.

Klein has hinted at a deliberate approach, framing Cure’s development as a matter of time rather than immediate impact, though the upcoming Sunflower Showdown against rival Kansas could mark a turning point for the sophomore’s offensive contributions. The Wildcats’ struggling running game and need for additional playmakers add urgency to Cure’s progression under center Avery Johnson.
