Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson just finished a historic sophomore season—yet national media and analysts are still sleeping on him heading into 2025. In this episode of Locked On Kansas State, Christian Rauh breaks down why Johnson deserves to be recognized as one of the top quarterbacks in college football and a legitimate Heisman Trophy dark horse. 🚨 Despite totaling 3,300+ yards and 32 TDs in 2024, Avery was left off Joel Klatt’s Top 10 QB list and sits at just +6500 in Heisman odds. So why is the media ignoring Kansas State’s rising star? We dive deep into: ✅ Avery Johnson’s 2024 stats and what they predict for 2025 ✅ Why K-State’s revamped offense could make him unstoppable ✅ A loaded WR + RB room that’s built for a breakout year ✅ Why national disrespect might be the fuel this team needs 📊 Since 2000, only 7 QBs have hit Avery's freshman stat line—and 5 of them won the Heisman. This isn’t hype. It’s history repeating itself. 🔔 Subscribe to Locked On Kansas State for daily coverage of the Wildcats, Big 12 power rankings, and Avery Johnson’s Heisman push. 👇 Drop a comment: Is Avery Johnson the most dangerous QB in the Big 12? #AveryJohnson #KansasStateFootball #Heisman2025 #Big12Football #CollegeFootball #Wildcats #KState #KStateFootball Locked On College Conferences, HBCU, Basketball & More 🎧 https://linktr.ee/LockedOnCollege Follow on Twitter: https://x.com/lockedonKState Follow the show on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HhcfyjaoLGxYjsL1KmSZM #KansasState #KansasStateFootball #KansasStateWildcats #NCAA #CollegeFootball Big 12 Conference: Arizona Wildcats, Arizona State Sun Devils, Baylor Bears, BYU Cougars, UCF Knights, Cincinnati Bearcats, Colorado Buffaloes, Houston Cougars, Iowa State Cyclones, Kansas Jayhawks, Kansas State Wildcats, Oklahoma State Cowboys, TCU Horned Frogs, Texas Tech Red Raiders, Utah Utes, West Virginia Mountaineers Locked on Kansas State
