The Kansas State Wildcats have the opportunity to improve on their already strong 2025 recruiting class on Wednesday.

That is when East St. Louis (Ill.) safety Charles Bass will make his college choice. His four finalists are Illinois, Arkansas, Kansas State and Missouri.

He originally was supposed to make his decision on July 1, but pushed back the date. The three-star recruit is rated as the No. 13 player in Illinois by 247 Sports.

Bass tells me he will no longer be committing today and has rescheduled his commitment for July 10th. @cjbass03 https://t.co/CdyAIYDaAi
