Manhattan, KS – July 17, 2025 – It was a big night in Manhattan as WTC Fiber welcomed K-State Football standouts Avery Johnson and Joe Jackson to Manhattan Town Center for a special fan event.
Fans of all ages came out to meet the players, grab autographs, take photos, and enjoy free slices from AJ’s Pizzeria. The atmosphere was electric - filled with purple pride, pizza, and real connection.
From young future Wildcats to longtime season ticket holders, the event brought together the Manhattan community for an evening of fun and photos with the two stars.
This appearance was made possible through a partnership with Wildcat NIL, the official collective supporting Kansas State student-athletes. With their help, we were able to create a memorable experience for the fans who cheer on Avery and Joe every Saturday.
As part of that partnership, we’re also excited to roll out our WTCtv commercial spots featuring Joe Jackson himself. Check it out here.
WTC Fiber was proud to host Players & Pizza as a way to celebrate K-State spirit and give back to a community that supports its own. The turnout was incredible, and the energy was contagious - a true reminder of what makes Manhattan special.
We’re proud to be a part of the Manhattan community and to provide fast, reliable internet to homes and businesses across the city. Keep an eye out for more local events, special appearances, and community perks as we continue connecting with the people who make this town great.
Thanks to everyone who came out—and a special shoutout to Avery, Joe, Wildcat NIL, Manhattan Town Center, and AJ’s Pizzeria for making the night one to remember!
