Entering his third season under head coach Jay Norvell at Colorado State, quarterback Brayden Fowler-Nicolosi reportedly turned down a lucrative opportunity to play elsewhere.
At the Mountain West media day in Las Vegas on Thursday, Novell revealed two incidents of purported tampering in his locker room involving Fowler-Nicolosi and receiver Tory Horton. Kansas State reportedly made contact with the quarterback this offseason.
“[Fowler-Nicolosi] said that
Fowler-Nicolosi had a 132.6 passer rating in 12 games last season, throwing for 3,460 yards with 22 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. For the sixth consecutive season, Colorado State ended the year with a 5–7 record and was not eligible for a bowl game.
Given that Will Howard, who spent the previous four years playing 34 games for the Wildcats, transferred to Ohio State, Kansas State will have a vacancy at center in 2024. Avery Johnson, a sophomore who was named Kansas Gatorade Player of the Year in high school and a former four-star recruit, is anticipated to take over for Kansas State coach Chris Klieman.
Although Johnson has high expectations for this season, it appears that at least one member of the Wildcats’ organization had other plans for the 2024 campaign.
“You can prove it if you have enough evidence,” Norvell asserted. “Smoking gun is a smoking gun.”
