On Saturday, October 19, 2013, PBR Kansas hosted the Underclass Prospect Games at Tointon Family Stadium in Manhattan, Kansas.  The invite-only event consisted of 35 underclassmen from Kansas/Missouri split into two teams that went through a pre-game workout followed up by two games.  A number of college recruiters were in attendance including two SEC schools (Arkansas, Missouri) and two Big 12 schools (Kansas State, Oklahoma).
