Samoan Lineman Chooses Kansas State Over Alternatives
Malo Etellini, a 6-3 255-pound Samoan transfer from Mira Costa CC, opted for Kansas State over Oklahoma State Missouri and Nebraska to play on offense. He beat out Mike Wakefield for left guard, credits the people at K State, and aims to help turn the team into a winner in the Big Eight.
