🚨BREAKING NEWS: IN A JAW-DROPPING TWIST, KANSAS STATE’S BRIGHTEST STAR LINKON CURE HAS REJECTED A MASSIVE $6.7 MILLION NIL OFFER FROM TENNESSEE—DOUBLE HIS CURRENT DEAL! THE VOLUNTEERS ALLEGEDLY ATTEMPTED..
In an era where jaw-dropping NIL offers are flipping college football rosters overnight, Kansas State superstar Linkon Cure just made a bold statement that’s sending shockwaves across the nation: loyalty still matters.
Sources confirm that Cure, a dynamic wide receiver and the face of K-State football, turned down a staggering $6.7 million NIL package from the University of Tennessee — more than double his current valuation. The deal was reportedly designed to lure him into the transfer portal with immediate financial rewards and high-profile exposure.
But Cure wasn’t interested.
> “I’m not for sale,” Cure reportedly told insiders close to the program — a direct and powerful response that’s resonating deeply with fans and players alike.
Cure’s decision has electrified Wildcat Nation and reinforced the culture head coach Chris Klieman has worked tirelessly to build in Manhattan: one rooted in loyalty, grit, and long-term vision over short-term gain.
“This kid is a rare breed,” said a Kansas State assistant coach. “He’s got NFL talent, but more importantly, he’s got character. He believes in what we’re building here.”
The 6-foot-4 junior has already carved out an impressive legacy at Kansas State. Last season, he led the Big 12 in receiving yards and was a finalist for the Biletnikoff Award. With the NFL already watching, most assumed any offer north of $5 million would be too good to refuse.
But Cure’s priorities are clear: build a legacy, bring a title to Manhattan, and be remembered as a Wildcat legend — not a mercenary.
Sports analysts and former players have praised Cure’s decision across social media. ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit posted: “Linkon Cure just reminded everyone what college football used to be about. Loyalty. Team. Heart. HUGE respect.”
With Cure locked in for another season, the Wildcats’ offense remains one of the most explosive units in the country. Kansas State is widely expected to contend for the Big 12 title — and potentially a College Football Playoff berth.
In a college football landscape increasingly driven by dollars and deals, Linkon Cure just reminded the world that some things can’t be bought.
A true Wildcat warrior, Cure is choosing legacy over luxury — and Manhattan couldn’t be prouder.
