Kansas State Wildcats’ veteran star Blake Barnett has been placed on an extended leave following an undisclosed violation of team rules.
Head coach Chris Klieman confirmed the decision during a press briefing, stating, “We hold our players to a high standard, and unfortunately, Blake fell short of those expectations. While this is a difficult decision, it’s in the best interest of the team and Blake’s future.” Barnett, a key player and leader for the Wildcats, has been instrumental in the team’s success over recent seasons.
His absence leaves a significant gap in the Wildcats’ lineup as they gear up for crucial games in the coming weeks. Sources close to the program suggest the violation is related to conduct unbecoming of a team leader, though specifics remain unclear. The Wildcats will now rely on younger players to step up in Barnett’s absence.
