In which BracketCat counts down the third day until kickoff with a profile of running back Dalvin Warmack.

By BracketCat
Many have said Dalvin Warmack is the second coming of Darren Sproles, but I think we should moderate our expectations a little and hope for a second John Hubert instead.

Dalvin Dashawn Warmack (b. Nov. 14, 1995) is a shifty and elusive running back who was one of the top high school backs nationally in the class of 2014. He will compete for playing time this season as a redshirt freshman.

Warmack redshirted last year and earned K-State’s Red Raider Award as the top contributor on the scout squad.

The first commit of K-State's 2014 recruiting class, Warmack was a two-time Simone Award winner as the top prep football player in the Kansas City metro area while playing for Blue Springs High School.

He is the only two-time recipient of the award in its 31-year history and was only the second junior to win it. He also was named the 11th best all-purpose back nationally, and rushed for 2,223 yards and 29 touchdowns as a senior.

The list of recent Simone Award winners includes such notable K-Staters as Josh Freeman, Maurice Mack, and one of Warmack's idols and role models, Darren Sproles. He was a prep teammate of Elijah Lee and Kaleb Prewett.

Warmack committed to Kansas State over offers from Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma State and Toledo.

He earned Missouri Class 6 Offensive Player of the Year honors from the Missouri Football Coaches Association (MFCA) in 2013, and was the Missouri Gatorade Player of the Year in both 2012 and 2013.

Named a first-team all-state player by MFCA and the Missouri media in both 2012 and 2013, Warmack also was selected to the American Family Insurance All-USA Missouri Team as both a junior and a senior.

A two-time Kansas City Star All-Metro team honoree, Warmack was rated the ninth-best player in the state by Rivals.com after he hauled in three touchdown receptions to help to lead Blue Springs to the Missouri Class 6 State Championship for the second straight season in 2013.

He totaled 2,300 yards and 45 total touchdowns, including 40 rushing scores, as a junior and was selected to play in the Blue-Grey North-South All-American Bowl in Tampa, Fla., in January. He maxes at 490 on the squat rack.
