Jaxson Duffield (b. March 29, 2006) is a young walk-on transfer from Oklahoma State who is majoring in business management. I expect him to serve as Andrew Johnson’s primary backup at long snapper in 2026.

Duffield redshirted last season at OSU, where he was teammates with fellow northward transfers and current K-State defensive end Wendell Gregory, running back Rodney Fields Jr. and linebacker Jacobi Oliphant Jr.

He prepped under head coaches Bill Blankenship and Antonio Graham at Owasso (Okla.) High School, where he was regarded as the 11th-best long snapper in the Class of 2025 by Kohl’s Kicking.

The Rams were a dominant program who regularly made deep runs into the Class 6A-1 state playoffs during his time as starting long snapper on punts, fields goals and PATs.

Duffield earned first-team all-district and academic all-conference honors, and he served as the Rams’ primary long snapper on punts, fields goals and extra points.

He also prepped at the same high school as current K-State wide receiver Julius Wilson.

Duffield originally walked on at Oklahoma State over interest from Arkansas, K-State, Oklahoma and Tulsa.

His father, Zach, played baseball at Oral Roberts, while his mother, Sami, played softball at Arkansas.
