Here’s Why Kansas State Fans Should Be Excited About Quarterback Avery Johnson
Kansas State quarterback is projected to take a massive leap next season after a relatively underwhelming sophomore season.
But beyond stats, Wildcats coach Chris Klieman discussed how the signal-caller has also developed as a leader.
“An increased emphasis on his ability to lead,” Klieman said. “Leading by example, leading vocally, and being out in front of the team. You know, we never asked him to do that even though he was a captain and needed to lead. He always had some older guys that would be able to help him and make him not have to step up as much as he needs to this year.”
Johnson had 2,712 passing yards, 25 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions last season and rushed for 605 yards and seven touchdowns. Kansas State lost three of its last four to end the regular season, with its playoff aspirations declining after each loss.
However, Johnson has already taken the initiative to improve, promising to elevate the Wildcats to postseason expectations.
“Everybody gravitates to him,” Klieman said. “He’s just got that infectious energy and that aura about him that people are gonna gravitate toward. He’s taking that on and he’s taken it to the next level. He’s not afraid to hold people to the standard that he expects. He’s gonna do it too. I think his leadership is continuing to evolve. “

Kansas City Current vs San Diego Wave FC: Where to watch, TV channel, live stream & kick-off time | Goal.com US
Today’s game between Kansas City Current and San Diego Wave FC will kick-off at Jul 17, 2026, 8:00 PM.
READ MORE: Today’s FW2026 TV schedule
Kansas City Current vs San Diego Wave FC is available to watch live. TV channel and live stream options for the match are listed below.
Kansas City Current host San Diego Wave FC in an NWSL regular season fixture that carries real weight at both ends of the table.
San Diego arrive as the league’s standout side, sitting top of the NWSL standings with 28 points. Jonas Eidevall’s team have been the most consistent outfit in the division through the first half of the season, though they head into this match on the back of a 2-0 defeat to Angel City FC — a result that ended their winning run but left their lead at the summit intact.
Kansas City sit sixth in the table with 24 points, level with Gotham FC and Utah Royals in a congested mid-table cluster. Chris Armas’s side have shown they can mix it with the best, but their form has been uneven. A 3-0 loss to Orlando Pride on July 11 was a setback after back-to-back wins over Denver Summit and Boston Legacy.
The Current will be looking to use home advantage to apply pressure on a Wave side that, despite their league position, have shown they can be caught on the road. San Diego’s defeat in Los Angeles proved they are not untouchable.
This is a fixture with genuine stakes. Kansas City need points to stay in the race for a top-four finish, while San Diego will want to respond after their first defeat in several weeks.

Chiefs Name Burns & McDonnell as Owner’s Representative for New Practice Facility and Headquarters in Olathe
KANSAS CITY, Mo. – On Thursday, the Kansas City Chiefs made their first major announcement for the club’s future day-to-day home, naming Kansas City-based Burns & McDonnell as owner’s representative for the team’s practice facility and headquarters project in Olathe, Kansas.
“We are extremely excited to have Burns & McDonnell join our project team as owner’s representative for our new practice facility and headquarters that we will be building in Olathe,” Chiefs Executive Vice President and Chief Operations Officer Matt Kenny said. “As a local, employee-owned firm with a track record of project success around the world, we know they have the right mix of local knowledge as well as global experience to help us navigate the upcoming design and construction phases of a truly unique year-round home for our football team and staff.”
Burns & McDonnell will team with CAA ICON to serve as the franchise’s trusted advisor throughout the development of the new team facilities that support both business and football operations. Working alongside Chiefs project leaders, they will provide independent oversight and experienced leadership to guide the process from early planning through construction and occupancy. They will coordinate with architects, engineers, contractors, consultants, and other key stakeholders to support project execution, maintain alignment with budget and schedule objectives, manage risk, and help ensure the facility is delivered to the high standards expected by the Chiefs organization.
“We are honored to partner with the Kansas City Chiefs on this transformational project,” said Jon Wright, senior vice president and general manager of the Buildings Market at Burns & McDonnell. “The Chiefs have had an extraordinary impact on our region for generations, and this investment represents an exciting new chapter for the organization and the Kansas City community. As a Kansas City-based company, it is a privilege to help bring that vision to life by providing experienced project leadership from planning through construction. We look forward to working alongside the Chiefs and the entire project team to deliver a world-class facility for the organization, its staff and Chiefs Kingdom.”
Set to open ahead of the 2031 football season, the Chiefs new $300 million practice facility and headquarters – as well as an associated mixed-use development – will be located on approximately 155 acres near the intersection of College Boulevard and Ridgeview Road in Olathe.
Additional announcements related to the design and construction of the club’s new practice facility and headquarters in Olathe are expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
