High-quality offensive tackles are rare in the transfer portal, and Kansas State learned this firsthand while trying to add a starter to their offensive line. However, when they offered Brandon Sneh a spot in late December, they believed they had found the right player.
They scheduled an official visit for January 7th and 8th, planning to welcome the 6’6″, 320-pound tackle who had gone the entire season at Wagner without allowing a sack. But soon after, other teams began reaching out, scheduling visits with him, making Sneh a highly sought-after recruit.
On Wednesday, Kansas State secured the commitment of the Philadelphia native, Brandon Sneh, beating out schools like Colorado, Illinois, Houston, and Cal, as well as other Group of Five programs. Sneh will join the Wildcats with two years of eligibility remaining.
Brandon Sneh posted impressive grades of 81 for pass blocking and 72 for run blocking, according to PFF, making him one of the top linemen at the FCS level. A key factor in his recruitment was finding a school that could help him reach his goal of playing in the NFL. With Kansas State’s track record of developing NFL-bound linemen like KT Leveston and Cooper Beebe, their ability to develop players along the line was a major selling point.
“The top priority I’m looking for in a school is the development aspect because my final goal is the NFL,” Sneh told 247 Sports just before committing.
Sneh began his college career at Elizabeth City State College in North Carolina before moving up to the FCS level last season. After helping Wagner secure four wins, he entered the transfer portal, hoping to play at the highest level. With over 20 schools showing interest, Sneh’s decision to choose K-State is a great fit for both sides.
Sneh is expected to step in as a starting tackle, known for his quick feet and good bend. Capable of playing on both the left and right sides, he fills a crucial gap for Kansas State, which needs to replace both of its starting tackles—Easton Kilty graduated, and Carver Willis transferred to Washington. Andrew Leingang filled in well during the bowl game, but the former top prospect from North Dakota may move to the interior, making Sneh’s addition key for the Wildcats.
With more additions likely coming, Sneh may not be the final commitment for K-State this transfer portal cycle. While he may not be the highest-rated, he could prove to be one of the most impactful.
