Day 4 Portal Update, No. 2 QB in 2027 visits this weekend

April 10, 2026·45 min·4 clips

Jake Narott, the No. 2 quarterback in the country, visits K-State this weekend amid a tight five-team race.

1. The KSO Show's Mason Voth covers two topics solo: K-State basketball's Transfer Portal and Jake Narott's upcoming visit as the No. 2 QB in the 2027 rivals class. 2. Mason Voth hosts alone for the basketball segment; Drew Galloway joins for the Jake Narott football recruiting discussion recorded as a combined podcast. 3. The episode's core purpose is to update K-State fans on eight new basketball portal targets and to assess whether the Narott visit this weekend could lead to a historic commitment. 4. Isaiah Lohem, who played with LeBron James' son at Sierra Canyon and was once a 48th-ranked high school recruit, averaged 12.5 points per game at FAU after a disappointing stint at USC. 5. Kulitek, a former top-115 high school recruit from Texas, played sparingly at Oklahoma under Porter Mosier but has three years of eligibility remaining, which Mason notes makes him attractive. 6. Brandon Rechsteiner shot 40% from three at Colorado State, taking more than six attempts per game, and Mason compares his profile directly to former K-State transfer Tyler Lundblad from Belmont. 7. Jaden Shut averaged 7.5 three-point attempts per game for Virginia Tech and was teammates with Rechsteiner there; Mason says there may already be travel arrangements in place for Shut to visit Manhattan. 8. JT Rock (7-foot-1, 260 lbs, started his career under TJ Otzelberger at Iowa State) is described as an upside play for a position Mason calls the most expensive in the Transfer Portal. 9. Isaac Bronze scored almost 21 points per game at South Dakota and drew a direct comparison to Tyler Lundblad in terms of size, shooting profile, and role fit for Casey Alexander's offense. 10. Isaiah Abraham, a former top-70 recruit who was teammates with Patrick Ngongba and lost out to UConn before transferring to Georgetown under Ed Cooley, has two years of eligibility remaining. 11. Mason argues Casey Alexander's offense is built around making every player on the floor an offensive option — a design principle, not just a coaching preference. 12. K-State has 11 available scholarships but Mason says it is highly unlikely they fill all of them, meaning the decisions on this round of targets will be meaningful and selective. 13. Jake Narott set the Hersey (Illinois) high school passing touchdown record as a starter and threw only one interception, which Mason uses to argue he is a polished, NFL-ready-caliber decision-maker. 14. At his current rivals ranking of 32nd overall, Narott would automatically receive five-star status when final rankings are released, since rivals awards five-star designation to the top 32 players. 15. Iowa slipped in the Narott race after reportedly hosting a second 2027 quarterback for an official visit, which Mason reads as a signal that Iowa may be hedging its bets. 16. Notre Dame entered the Narott sweepstakes the very day of this recording, which Mason describes as simultaneously scary (if the process lingers into summer) and unlikely to matter if K-State can close quickly. 17. The conversation is analytical and confident in tone — Mason and Drew build a prosecutorial case for K-State as the leader, using recruiting timelines, relationship histories, and head-coach profiles as evidence. 18. The episode moves between structured lists (portal names and stats) and more discursive football recruiting conversation, with occasional humor about Manhattan grocery stores and welcome signs. 19. K-State football and basketball fans tracking the portal or Narott's recruitment will find this episode directly useful. 20. Listeners uninterested in Big 12 college sports recruiting will find little to engage with here.
