MANHATTAN — Kansas State football offensive lineman George Fitzpatrick's status for the 2026 season remains a question after missing the entire 2025 season due to a preseason medical emergency.
Wildcats coach Collin Klein said Tuesday, Aug. 11, during his fall camp press conference that Fitzpatrick still has some benchmarks to hit that he, his family, specialists and team doctors agreed upon.
"He's still working through that process," Klein said. "He's not quite there yet."
Klein's sentiment Tuesday echoed what he said last month during Big 12 Media Days in Frisco, Texas. The 6-foot-6, 301-pound offensive tackle transferred to K-State before last season from Ohio State and was expected to be the team's starting left tackle.
Fitzpatrick's absence was felt along an offensive line that wasn't the most consistent. It did, however, open the door for more time for John Pastore, who enters this season as an All-Big 12 offensive tackle.
