Stinyard’s Rise at Kansas State | College Basketball News

Countdown to 2026 kickoff: Meet Kansas State’s rising cornerback, Serious Stinyard — a 6-foot, 190-pound redshirt freshman with four years of eligibility left and a scholarship to match. Hailing from Gaither High in Tampa, he was a high school standout with 19 tackles, 3 interceptions, and 5 pass breakups as a junior, and added 15 tackles, 2 for loss, 3 interceptions, and 4 pass breakups as a senior — while also competing on the track. He chose K-State over a long list of offers, late in the signing period. His athletic pedigree runs deep: his cousin Michael Penix Jr. is Atlanta’s QB, and another cousin Mekhi played WR at Tennessee Tech. Under K-State’s new eligibility system, Stinyard’s now a true sophomore — and with his biology major and explosive playmaking, he’s poised to make waves.
