MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia University men's basketball coach Ross Hodge has announced the signing of Kingston Whitty to a grant-in-aid for the 2026-27 season.
Whitty is a 6-foot-2 guard from Mableton, Georgia, and currently attends Christ School in Arden, North Carolina.
"We feel Kingston is one of the most underrated guards in the country," Hodge said. "He is a great player but even better person. His character and work ethic will fit perfectly with our program. He is a natural competitor who works at a high level."
Last year, Whitty averaged 10.4 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.9 assists per game while shooting 51% from the floor and 33% from 3-point range at Holy Innocents Episcopal in Georgia.
He played AAU basketball for Pro One on the UAA Circuit. Whitty wrapped up AAU play averaging 18.7 points, 4.4 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.5 steals per game. He was named Co-MVP of the 2026 Select 80 last fall.
Whitty is a 4-star recruit by ESPN and a 3-star recruit by 247 Sports & Rivals.
In addition to basketball, Whitty was a two-time Georgia state champion in track & field in the 400-meter dash and high jump.
