Avery Johnson Kansas State Wildcats Quarterback

Avery Johnson, the sophomore quarterback for the Kansas State Wildcats, is making significant waves in the college football scene. As he prepares to make his 13th career start, Johnson has already amassed impressive statistics, throwing for 2,297 yards and 19 touchdowns on 190-of-314 attempts. Additionally, he has contributed 484 rushing yards and six rushing touchdowns, making him one of only four players in the country and the only Big 12 quarterback with at least 2,275 passing yards and 475 rushing yards this season.

Johnson’s performance has set a new Kansas State record for a sophomore quarterback, surpassing Josh Freeman‘s 18 passing touchdowns in 2007. His dual-threat capabilities have been praised by opponents, including Iowa State coach Matt Campbell, who highlighted Johnson’s speed, athleticism, and overall talent. Campbell emphasized the need for strategic planning to counter Johnson’s skills on the field.

The Kansas State Wildcats have now achieved a streak of winning at least eight games in each of the last four seasons, including the 2024 season. This marks the team’s longest such streak since the 2011-2014 seasons, when they won 10, 11, 8, and 9 games respectively.

Johnson’s upcoming game against Iowa State is highly anticipated, with the Wildcats listed as +2.5 underdogs. The game is set to take place at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa, and will be broadcast on ESPN2 and WatchESPN).
