TOUCHDOWN LEGEND ON SCREEN: Collin Klein Documentary Set to Premiere – Kansas State Celebrates Its All-Time Great!
Manhattan, KS — Kansas State Wildcats fans, prepare yourselves for a heartfelt, electrifying walk down memory lane. In a celebration that’s been years in the making, a brand-new documentary is set to premiere — dedicated to none other than Collin Klein, the program’s all-time touchdown leader and one of the most beloved players in Wildcat football history.
The highly anticipated film, titled “KLEIN: Heart of a Wildcat,” is officially scheduled for release this fall, with the premiere date now confirmed by the K-State Athletics Department and ESPN+. The documentary promises to deliver a powerful, behind-the-scenes look into the life, legacy, and incredible career of Collin Klein, the dual-threat quarterback who captured the hearts of an entire state and left an indelible mark on college football.
From the moment he stepped onto the field at Bill Snyder Family Stadium, Klein was different. Gritty, determined, and relentlessly competitive, Klein went on to score a record-breaking 57 total touchdowns, leading the Wildcats to national prominence and a Big 12 Championship run that fans still talk about to this day. But beyond the stats, it was his leadership, humility, and commitment to the program that made him a true K-State icon.
The documentary features never-before-seen footage, exclusive interviews, and insider commentary from teammates, coaches, family members, and Collin himself. Fans will get an up-close look at the blood, sweat, and passion that fueled Klein’s rise — from his humble beginnings to his unforgettable Heisman-finalist season in 2012.
“This project means the world to me,” said Klein during a teaser reveal. “To share my story with the people of Kansas and the fans who supported me every step of the way is truly special. I didn’t play for fame — I played for family, for my brothers, and for the Wildcat on my chest.”
Now serving as Kansas State’s offensive coordinator, Klein remains an integral part of the program’s DNA. His journey from star quarterback to coach is part of what makes his story so inspiring. He embodies everything that Wildcat football stands for — toughness, loyalty, and an unshakable belief in team over self.
Coach Chris Klieman praised the documentary as “a must-watch for every Wildcat fan and anyone who believes in the power of heart and perseverance.”
Social media is already buzzing with excitement. Fans are sharing their favorite Klein moments — from bulldozing defenders in goal-line situations to clutch throws in overtime classics. For many, this documentary is more than just a film — it’s a tribute to an era of pride, unity, and unforgettable Wildcat football.
Whether you cheered for him from the student section or watched from afar, now is the time to celebrate Collin Klein all over again.
Get ready, Wildcat Nation — the legacy of No. 7 is coming to the screen, and it’s going to be legendary.
