MANHATTAN, Kan. — K-State coach Bill Snyder called timeout during the third quarter of the Purple vs. White Spring Football Game to allow eight-year old Kaiden Schroeder, who suffers from Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia, an opportunity to run in a 30-yard touchdown for the Purple.
Following Schroeder crossing the goal line, the fans inside Bill Snyder Family Stadium gave him a standing ovation while he was hoisted upon the shoulders of the Wildcats and was mobbed by the entire team in the end zone.
