6'0", 190lb "Athlete" from Topeka Hayden who plays RB and DB and OLB in highschool so he has a lot of options as far as college position.

KSU got a good look at him when he beat Manhattan High in September. It's probably a safe assumption that being he doesn't have a profile on Rivals or 247sports or ESPN and that he plays 3A ball in KS that KSU is his only FBS offer.

Topeka Hayden standout Desmond Purnell (@Des_Purnell) has committed to Kansas State on a full scholarship offer.
This dynamic 200 lb. athlete was arguably best two-way senior in Kansas at 3A. Physical and quick (4.5), he proved himself this year.

Yes, the new Kansas State commit in the class is Topeka Hayden athlete Desmond Purnell. He will be a safety for the Wildcats. Has had a strong senior year.

If this young man comes in, works hard, and has a bit of a chip on his shoulder from being overlooked by other P5 programs, I really don't care how many P5 offers he has at this point. More may come now that he has an offer from K-State. Remember that our program was built on guys like this (lesser known, small school, etc.).
