Also at practice, although not in uniform, was freshman Carson Coffman, who was officially added to the Wildcats' roster this week after Evridge's departure. Coffman is still rehabbing a shoulder injury and may not have full shoulder strength until mid-October, but could provide some depth at quarterback for the Wildcats late in the season.

"Carson Coffman is a player we recruited in the last recruiting class, anticipating that something like this may happen," said Prince. "He's a terrific player with a good resume, so we're anxious to get him in here and working."

Coffman, a freshman from Raymore-Peculiar (Mo.) High School, originally came to Kansas State as a gray shirt, which means he was paying his own way in the fall semester, but was expected to be put on scholarship in the spring.

However, after Evridge's transfer, Coffman got the call from Director of Football Operations Sean Snyder on Friday morning, informing Coffman that he was being put on scholarship.

Coffman shined at Ray-Pec during his final two years, throwing 42 touchdowns to only eight interceptions while leading his teams to back-to-back state championships.

"The thing I liked about (Carson) is that he was a very accurate quarterback," said Prince, who mentioned another accurate quarterback he once coached at Virginia — Matt Schaub, who now plays for the Atlanta Falcons. "I'm not ready to put Carson in (the NFL Hall of Fame) just yet, but he was that kind of player on tape and that really excited me."
