During his junior season at the high school level, Kinsey hauled in 45 receptions for 922 yards and 11 touchdowns. He also totaled 194 punt return yards during the 2024 campaign.
Kinsey is a skilled wide receiver who can beat defenders down the field, providing a deep threat in the passing attack. He's also a talented route-runner and can be a threat in the intermediate passing game.
The coaching staff in West Lafayette continues to assemble the 2026 recruiting class, which is now up to 14 commitments. The Boilermakers rank 46th nationally and 14th in the Big Ten for the cycle.
