Kansas State had four players from last year’s roster chosen to participate in the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis starting February 26.
Offensive linemen Cooper Beebe and KT Leveston, linebacker Khalid Duke and tight end Ben Sinnott were among 321 players across all levels of college football chosen to show their capable of on the biggest stage for a chance to play in the NFL next season.
If you include Texas, Oklahoma and the four incoming Pac-12 schools, K-State’s four selections were the fourth-most in the Big 12, only behind Texas’ 11 and TCU and Utah who both had six.
Beebe was a two-time Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year and a consensus All-America, the first offensive lineman in school history to earn that distinction.
He played in 51 games with 48 starts and was a three-time first team All-Big 12 selection.
Beebe allowed only five sacks among his 1,488 career pass blocking snaps, according to Pro Football Focus, with four of those coming in his redshirt freshman season of 2020. He only allowed just one sack in his final 42 games.
Leveston was an All-Big 12 honorable mention selection this past season. He played in 50 games in his career and started in 32 of those games.
He was only flagged for one in-play penalty over his final two seasons, a span of 1,842 offensive snaps.
Sinnott played in 38 games with 28 starts over the last three seasons before declaring for the draft early.
He finished his career by tying for the most receiving touchdowns by K-State tight end (10) in school history. He ranks third among the position in receptions (82) and fourth in receiving yards (1,138) and was just the fourth tight end ever to eclipse the 1,000-yard receiving mark.
Duke started all 13 games last season and 13 of the 14 games the season prior after coming back from a season-ending injury in 2021.
He ended his K-State career with 102 tackles including 21 tackles for loss and 14 sacks. He had two passes batted down along with one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Live coverage of the combine starts Feb. 29 and will be televised on NFL Network and NFL+.
