Deuce Vaughn is the only other former Wildcat to be named an All-American twice during their college careers, along with Chris Canty. Vaughn challenges Darren Sproles for the title of greatest running back in Kansas State football history, and he could have won it if he had stayed for a fourth season.
Vaughn was an integral part of the passing and rushing games in each of the two seasons he was named an All-American. Along with 468 receiving yards and four receiving touchdowns in 2021, he accumulated 1,404 rushing yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. He then finished 2022 with 1,558 rushing yards, nine touchdowns, and 378 receiving yards, three of which were touchdowns.

As the most recent former Wildcat to be named an All-American, Cooper Beebe completes this list. After playing for Kansas State for five seasons, Beebe was honored to be named an All-American only in his final season as a Wildcat.
Having been named the Big 12 Offensive Lineman of the Year in both 2022 and 2023, Beebe is entering the elite group of offensive linemen to play at Kansas State. Although he spent most of his time at left tackle, what really distinguished him from other linebackers was his versatility and ability to play any position on the field.
