**Decision Made: “Avery Johnson Stuns NFL World” — Signs Lifetime Contract with Kansas State, Vows to Retire a Wildcat Forever 💜🏈**
In a groundbreaking and emotional announcement that sent shockwaves through both college football and the NFL world, star quarterback Avery Johnson has officially signed a *lifetime contract* with Kansas State University. Turning down the lure of the NFL Draft and multimillion-dollar endorsements, Johnson declared his unwavering loyalty to the Wildcats — vowing to retire as a Kansas State legend.
“I’m not going anywhere,” Johnson said in a packed press conference at Bill Snyder Family Stadium. “This is my home, these are my people, and this is where I want to finish what I’ve started. I want to win championships here, inspire future Wildcats, and hang up my cleats in purple.”
At just 20 years old, Johnson has already become the face of Kansas State football. His electrifying dual-threat ability, leadership, and passion for the program have earned him national attention and Heisman buzz. Many scouts projected him as a potential top-10 NFL Draft pick. But Johnson isn’t interested — not now, and possibly not ever.
Athletic director Gene Taylor called the move “unprecedented,” adding, “Avery isn’t just a player — he’s a symbol of who we are and where we’re going. This lifetime deal shows we believe in him just as much as he believes in us.”
The contract includes long-term NIL partnerships, future coaching or ambassador roles, and a clause allowing Johnson to remain part of Kansas State’s athletic family beyond his playing days.
Fans erupted with joy across Manhattan, Kansas, as #ForeverWildcat trended nationally within minutes of the announcement.
While the NFL waits, Avery Johnson’s heart beats for Kansas State — and now, his name will be etched into Wildcat history for generations.
**Loyalty still exists — and it lives in purple.**
