Kansas State men’s basketball head coach Casey Alexander has landed his first commit in Manhattan.
Class of 2026 guard Devin Hutcherson, who was previously committed to play for Alexander at Belmont, has flipped his pledge to K-State after requesting a release from his National Letter of Intent just over a week ago.
Hutcherson, a 6-foot-4 wing, is rated as a top-250 prospect nationally and the No. 33 shooting guard in the 2026 class, according to 247Sports. He is also ranked as the No. 16 player in the state of Georgia.
The Atlanta native held offers from Georgia Tech, Ole Miss and Georgia State.
Hutcherson becomes the first commitment for Alexander at K-State, already emphasizing a trend the new head coach spoke on during his introductory press conference.
More roster moves will likely be on the way for the Wildcats amid coaching change. The NCAA Division I men’s basketball transfer portal officially opens on April 7, one day after the championship game, and closes on April 21, lasting 15 days.
