Kansas State football stars Cooper Beebe and Ben Sinnott are taking their talents to the next level.
PICK IS IN!
Cooper Beebe will be a Cowboy. Dallas takes the Kansas State offensive lineman with pick No. 73.

Sinnott, a former walk-on, was selected to the Washington Commanders with the No. 53 overall pick, making him a second-round draft pick. He is the first K-State tight end drafted since Shad Meier in 2001.
Sinnott joins a fairly empty tight end room with veteran Zach Ertz, leaving him a great opportunity to make a rookie season splash while learning from a three-time Pro Bowler veteran.

Sinnott writes an all-time story — going from a walk-on to the second tight end taken in the 2024 draft. Legendary wide receiver Jordy Nelson also went from a walk-on to a second-round draft pick in 2008.
Beebe, a consensus All-American guard, was selected by the Dallas Cowboys with the No. 73 overall pick, making him a third-round selection. He is the first K-State offensive lineman drafted since Dalton Risner in 2019.
Beebe joins fellow consensus All-American Deuce Vaughn, who the Cowboys selected in the sixth round last year. Beebe will look to make his mark with the Cowboys after a collegiate career that will likely place him the Wildcats’ Ring of Honor.

The Wildcats need two more selections to own four draft picks for the second consecutive year.
