Kansas State's John Pastore and George Fitzpatrick out for the season
Summary

Kansas State football suffers a setback as starting left tackle John Pastore is sidelined for the entire season due to injury. Additionally, George Fitzpatrick will also miss the upcoming season after not meeting recovery benchmarks from a previous medical issue. This leaves the offensive line facing significant uncertainty as they prepare for their season opener against Nicholls State in two weeks. The team, already navigating roster turnover and coaching changes, will now rely on inexperienced options at the left tackle position, with no player having a substantial number of snaps at the position. Newer recruits like Oliver Miller are expected to step up in the absence of both Pastore and Fitzpatrick.
