Kansas State Extends Offer to UCLA Defensive Line Commit
Marcus Almada’s recruitment continues to gain momentum, and for good reason. The Tabor Academy defensive tackle has been making waves across the country, and now his stock has risen even higher with a new scholarship offer from Kansas State. Almada, a three-star Class of 2026 prospect, had already committed to UCLA but has now caught the eye of the Big 12 program.
Almada’s Rising Profile
Standing 6-4 and weighing 280 pounds, Almada shared the news of his offer on his X account, expressing his appreciation for connecting with the Wildcats’ staff: “After a great conversation with @CoachKlanderman, I’m extremely blessed to receive an offer from Kansas State University! @CoachJeffMoore @hjacobs67,” he wrote.
This new recognition from Kansas State adds to the growing list of schools that have taken notice of Almada’s talent. Earlier this summer, he was named the top player in the Class of 2026 for all of New England by Prep Redzone. Additionally, 247Sports ranked him as the ninth-best player in Massachusetts, solidifying his place in a highly competitive recruiting class.
Versatility on the Defensive Line
What sets Almada apart is his ability to impact the game from anywhere along the defensive line. His quickness and redirection skills allow him to disrupt offensive lines and create havoc in the backfield. Coaches praise his combination of power and athleticism, making him a formidable force for opposing offenses.
With every game, Almada continues to add to his highlight reel, showcasing his ability to shut down plays and penetrate the backfield. His dominance on the defensive line has made him one of the top players in the region.
For Kansas State to extend an offer is a testament to his potential in the Big 12, where physical play in the trenches is often the deciding factor. As his recruitment continues to heat up, Almada’s profile is sure to rise even further.
