Svarczkopf Thriving in the Never-Ending World of College Football Recruiting

The man of the hour stands inside the third-level theater room at the Vanier Family Football Complex. He's been in the building for several hours now. Early-morning workouts cause him to reset the alarm clocks — because he just wants to evaluate how the current players are doing. Yes, 36-year-old Greg Svarczkopf doesn't miss a thing involving the current members of the Kansas State football team — even though his official role on the football staff is Director or Recruiting.

It All Started with One Man’s Vision

Travis Geopfert sits in the conference room at the Vanier Family Football Complex wearing a black polo shirt. It's 9:52 a.m. on July 15, 2024. In about an hour, he will be formally introduced as the seventh full-time Director of Track and Field/Cross Country in Kansas State history. He is picking between two dress shirts — one plain lavender, and one lavender and white. He goes with the plain lavender to go along with his off-white suit for the news conference.

Reaping the Benefits of Hard Work

He stands before us at the conclusion of the Kansas State Pro Day on the field at the indoor practice facility Tuesday afternoon wearing a black Nike cut-off t-shirt with a white "75" and a Powercat emblazoned upon the right side of his chest. His dark, curly hair stands at attention and drips with sweat across a face that shines wet and features a quarter-sized gash to the right of his eye. Sam Hecht stands in front of a TV camera and smiles wide at his surprise parting gift he received during drill work in front of NFL scouts — a gash, a souvenir, a badge of honor that one of the top center prospects for the 2026 NFL Draft had put in an honest day's work.

Laying the Foundation

Exactly two months to the day that Jeremy Jacobs left in his truck at 3:30 a.m. from College Station, Texas, and began a journey to Manhattan that ended with him pulling into the Vanier Family Football Complex parking lot at 1:30 p.m., the Kansas State Director of Strength and Conditioning now stands inside the team theater room on the third level wearing a purple hoodie with a white old-school Willie Wildcat cradling a football, and he lays down a little black book bearing a purple Powercat on the front cover.
