Five-star tight end committed to Kansas State, marking the highest-rated recruit in the program’s history. Cure, who had also considered Oregon, Texas A&M, and Kansas—each of which he visited between Memorial Day and now—chose Kansas State after his final official visit on June 21.
Under coach Chris Klieman, the Wildcats have recently secured commitments from notable in-state players like Avery Johnson, though none have been as highly ranked as Five-star tight end. He will surpass Class of 2000 lineman Chris Boggas as the highest-rated player ever to commit or sign with Kansas State. The top-10 list includes prominent names such as quarterbacks Josh Freeman (No. 6) and Avery Johnson (No. 7), with Johnson expected to make a significant impact this fall in Manhattan.
Cure is expected to make an immediate impact in 2025. He’s a standout athlete in multiple sports at Goodland High School. For example…
Track and field: Cure is a two-time Kansas 3A champion in the 300-meter hurdles and also won gold in the 110-meter hurdles as a junior. He has qualified for state competitions in several events over the years. His top track and field marks include a 11.05 in the 100-meter dash, a 14.49 (3.5) in the 110-meter hurdles, a 21.90 (2.7) in the 200-meter dash, a 38.90 in the 300-meter hurdles, and a 6-2 in the high jump.
Basketball: As a junior, Cure averaged 11.2 points per game, 5.7 rebounds per game, and 2.1 assists per game for the Goodland basketball team, which competed for a Kansas 3A title. He scored 14 points in the championship game.
Football (of course): Cure, a Kansas 3A All-State selection, ended his junior season with 42 receptions for 946 yards and 14 touchdowns. According to 247Sports’ Greg Biggins, Cure is praised for being an exceptional route runner who quickly creates separation off the snap, excels at winning contested catches, and performs well after the catch. His build and skill set also suggest he has the potential to gain strength and enhance his blocking abilities at the collegiate level.
