They didn’t release a name, but the fan sent a letter to the editor of the K-State Collegian. He revealed his name as Nathan Power.
“K-State friends, I was the individual identified as the fan who bumped Jamari Traylor during the court storm following K-State’s victory over KU. I want to take this moment to share a sincere apology in breaking from the Wildcat way and stepping outside what is acceptable in the spirit of the game. Following the basketball game I simply let my emotions get the best of me in all of the chaos. In my excitement I was not careful of the people I was around. I am sorry that I made the KU basketball team—Jamari Traylor in particular—feel disrespected. By no means can I change what took place but in the future I will be aware of how emotions can impact good judgment.”
After he was discovered, people went on his social media accounts. He has since deleted his Twitter account and switched his Instagram profile to private.
It hasn’t been made clear what will happen to Power as a result of his actions .
