Here's his official post confirming his transfer to Kansas State:

Per 247Sports:

A 7-foot-1 tower down low, Rock spent his first two collegiate seasons in the Big 12 at Iowa State, where he redshirted his first year before appearing in nine games for the Cyclones in 2024-25. After leaving Ames, Rock transferred to New Mexico, where he averaged 6.2 points and 3.5 rebounds per game this past season. Leading his team in blocks with 34, Rock showed off his versatility by knocking down 23 shots from 3-point range on the season, a program record at New Mexico.

 

As a high school prospect, Rock was rated as a four-star recruit. The South Dakota native held offers from schools like Iowa, Creighton, Purdue, Kansas, Nebraska, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Rock now makes his third collegiate stop after an amazing prep career at Sioux Falls Lincoln High School. Rock was the 2023 South Dakota AA Player of the Year.
