Let’s end the day the way we started it: With a picture of Andre McDonald (18). K-State fans have not seen anyone wearing No. 18 catch a pass since McDonald. Eric Hommel appears to be an entirely different sort of receiver, though.

Eric Joseph Hommel (b. April 15, 1999) is a preferred walk-on wide receiver from Rock Canyon High School in Littleton, Colorado. He is majoring in business administration.

He played in the UTSA game, but did not record any statistics in the 2018 season.

Hommel played for the Jaguars under head coach Brian Lamb, totaling 71 receptions for 899 yards and 12 touchdowns during his prep career.

His best season came as a junior in 2015, when he hauled in 67 catches for 840 yards and 11 scores en route to all-conference honors. He also set the school record for receptions.
