State's 12th portal addition since the end of the regular season. The Wildcats lost 16 transfers in December ahead of their 44-41 Rate Bowl victory over Rutgers. Medford is K-State's third transfer portal pickup at wide receiver.

K-State has been busy restocking the wide receiver position after losing four contributors from last season. The 6-foot-1, 198-pound Medford is the third wideout to join the Wildcats via the transfer portal, following Boston College's Jerand Bradley and Jaron Tibbs from Purdue.

Alabama won a recruiting battle against K-State and Nebraska for Ross when he signed with the Crimson Tide. But he held a total of 25 scholarship offers. The Wildcats clearly made an impression on him during the recruiting process, because he quickly chose them when he began exploring his options as a transfer.
