Taking advantage of the newly implemented early football signing period, Lawrence High senior Ekow Boye-Doe signed his letter of intent to play college football at Kansas State before school Wednesday.

The 6-foot-1, 170-pound Boye-Doe, who will play defensive back, made his commitment official at 8:11 a.m. At cornerback, he led the Lions to a 5-5 record, recording 42 tackles and nine pass breakups.

A three-star prospect by Rivals, Boye-Doe saw his recruitment skyrocket over the summer after he was clocked at 4.36 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the Northwest Missouri State camp. Starting on both sides of the ball for LHS, he caught seven touchdown passes this season.

Boye-Doe, who couldn’t be reached for comment, signed with the Wildcats over offers from Kansas and Tulane, among others.
