A new era in Manhattan: Ex-star QB Collin Klein opens his Kansas State tenure with Nicholls State

MANHATTAN, Kan. (AP) — Collin Klein nearly won a Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback at Kansas State a little more than a decade ago.

Klein had left Kansas State a couple of years earlier to serve as the offensive coordinator at Texas A&M, yet he remained a beloved figure in the Flint Hills. And his work helping the Aggies reach the College Football Playoffs last year only underscored a well-earned reputation as one of the bright, rising minds in the coaching profession.
