Colby Klieman, son of Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman, commits to Kansas Wesleyan

The Kansas Wesleyan football team received an oral commitment from a Kansas product with a famous last name.

Colby Klieman, son of Kansas State football coach Chris Klieman, announced his commitment Tuesday to play football for the Coyotes in 2022.

"100% Committed," Klieman said in a tweet.

Klieman, a 5-foot-8, 160-pound strong/free safety recorded 51 tackles, five for a loss, and an interception this season for Manhattan High School. He helped the Indians to a 9-2 record and the sectional round of the Class 6A playoffs, where they fell to Lawrence, 41-22.

Klieman was a first-team all-Centennial League selection at defensive back.

Kansas Wesleyan finished 11-2 this season and advanced to the NAIA Football Championship Series quarterfinals, before falling to Morningside, 58-21, on Nov. 27.
