Kansas State added another weapon to its defense. On Friday, Rice cornerback Jordan Dunbar transferred to K-State, a source confirmed to EMAW online.
Dunbar will have two seasons of eligibility remaining.
Despite being a redshirt last season, Dunbar has established himself as one of the best cornerbacks at the Group of 5 level. In 2022, he earned All-Conference USA honors for the Owls. The year before, he was a Conference USA All-Freshman Team honoree.

The 6-foot-2 cornerback totaled 44 tackles and 17 passes defended throughout his career. In 2022, Dunbar has allowed just two touchdowns in pass coverage, according to data from Pro Football Focus.
Dunbar is the third player to commit since the end of spring camp. Colorado running back Dylan Edwards was the first to commit, while New Mexico linebacker Alec Marenco followed soon after.
Dunbar is expected to compete for immediate playing time, but may initially be limited to a backup role behind Keenan Garber and Jacob Parrish. However, there’s a good chance he starts the year as the starting cornerback off the bench.
