Arizona wide receiver Tre Spivey and Kansas State defensive back Gunner Maldonado will play against their former programs on Friday in the battle of the Wildcats. After suffering a torn anterior cruciate with Arizona in 2024 that ended his season, Kansas State has brought Maldonado back slowly in 2025. Spivey had one reception for three yards in the 31-7 Kansas State win over Arizona in 2024. Maldonado is listed as the co-starting free safety for Kansas State with Logan Bartley and Wesley Fair. Maldonado and Spivey add an interesting subplot to Kansas State at Arizona on Friday night.
