Kansas State turns to Jacob Knuth at quarterback with Avery Johnson unavailable against Arizona State
Kansas State quarterback Avery Johnson will not play Saturday against Arizona State, On3's Pete Nakos reported. Jacob Knuth will take the starting snaps for the Wildcats, and Arizona State is expected to go with Mikey Keene rather than Cutter Boley.

Kansas State’s quarterback plan changes for Saturday’s game against Arizona State: Avery Johnson is unavailable, according to On3’s Pete Nakos. Jacob Knuth is set to handle the Wildcats’ starting snaps in Johnson’s place.
Arizona State is expected to start Mikey Keene at quarterback rather than Cutter Boley. K-State Online’s Derek Young reported that Johnson’s condition first arose last week.
The quarterback changes could affect how fans, students and alumni experience Saturday’s game, as a college football matchup may hinge on less familiar players. Teammates and coaches may need to adjust quickly, while sports media and game-day businesses could see shifts in attention. The impact is likely limited to the sports community, but it may shape perceptions of both programs’ depth and resilience.
