In a stunning turn, Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson Jr. has been dismissed from the football team following an off-campus altercation that allegedly involved law enforcement. The school released a brief statement citing “violation of team rules,” but sources close to the situation claim Johnson was involved in a heated confrontation outside a Manhattan bar, which ended in police intervention. Though no charges have been filed at this time, video footage circulating online shows Johnson being restrained by security after an apparent shouting match with a group of patrons. Head coach Chris Klieman, who had been counting on Johnson as a rising star, addressed the media somberly. “We have expectations of our players both on and off the field. When those are not met, consequences follow,” he said. Johnson’s dismissal opens up a quarterback competition heading into summer camp and sends ripples through a program on the rise. Fans are split—some believe the punishment was too harsh for a verbal incident, while others say it reflects discipline and accountability. For Johnson, the path forward is unclear. Once a symbol of the Wildcats’ future, he now finds himself on the outside looking in, with questions swirling about where he’ll land next.
