Linkon Cure News, Rumors, Updates - Kansas State Wildcats | FOX Sports

Starting in 12-man personnel Cure is expected to start alongside Garrett Oakley in 12-man sets this season, Wyatt D. Wheeler of the Topeka Capital-Journal reports.

Impact Cure and Oakley have worked as a duo during 12-man personnel run-throughs this fall with NFL scouts reportedly noting that complementary nature of the two. The 6-foot-5 sophomore logged six catches for 37 yards last season, working in a limited receiving role. Cure is expected to have a heavier blocking assignment while working alongside a more prolific pass catcher in Oakley.

Makes big jump during offseason Cure was one of the most improved players on Kansas State's roster this offseason and is primed for a bigger role this year, Derek Young of On3 Sports reports.

Impact Cure came into Kansas State as a five-star prospect, but he had a lackluster freshman campaign with just six catches for 37 yards. The 6-foot-5 tight end appears to have made a big leap in this offseason, and the team's coaching staff also stated, "he lost the most body fat and added the most muscle of any Wildcat." This puts Cure in an optimal position heading into training camp, with Garrett Oakley and Will Anciaux being his main competitors for playing time.
