I'm going to take my stab at MysTransfer that Matt Hall and KSWildcat11 were alluding to, since we’ve apparently got at least 48 hours to burn until anything remotely public.
Let’s look at the hints:

Let’s look at the hints:
- Big DT (KS11)
- I’ll be honest, this tipped me over the top. Combined with the clue below, I started looking at future NFL mock drafts and one name punched me in the face.
- Legitimate NFL potential (MH)
- Ed Oliver? No, but I’ve identified someone projected to go in the first two days of the 2020 NFL Draft by a couple of mocks.
- Down to K-State and Oklahoma State (MH)
- I’m assuming this is a semi-local kid (i.e. Kansas, Oklahoma, etc.) looking to get a bit closer to home.
- New K-State Coach has ties to his high school.
- This one was a bit tricky. The best I could do is link Brian Anderson. Anderson would potentially have familiarity with this high school while recruiting for Coffeyville. It’s possible that Anderson could have recruited the area while working at Southern Illinois for Jerry Kill. This high school coach has been at the school now for 18 years, so would have been there during that time. Also, there’s another potential Jerry Kill connection (big stretch) as the kids high school coach is from the Emporia area and graduated from Emporia State.
