WICHITA, Kan. - Wichita State's men's basketball roster for 2025-26 continues to take shape, as the team announced the signing of Kenyon Giles to a financial aid agreement Thursday morning.

Giles, a 5-foot-9 guard from Chesapeake, Va., will spend his final year of eligibility at Wichita State. He comes to Wichita after two seasons at Radford and this past season at UNC Greensboro.

"As a coaching staff we are always looking for players who love basketball versus players who like basketball," said Wichita State head men's basketball coach Paul Mills. "Kenyon loves the game of basketball and being a part of a team. How he has enhanced his game every single year is a testament to how much he loves the game and evidence of his dedication. He has made himself into a phenomenal shooter but he is a more than that given the attention he commands for so many other aspects of his game. I'm extremely excited about welcoming Kenyon to Shocker Nation."

He started 28 of the team's 30 games in 2024-25, averaging 15.3 points, 2.9 rebounds and 1.8 assists on 40.2 percent shooting from three-point range. Giles will provide a much-needed boost with his outside shooting ability. He knocked down 80-of-199 three-pointers at UNCG, more than double the amount Wichita State's top shooter made this past season. He was named to the All-SoCon First Team after posting nine 20-point games and reaching double figures in every game but five. In his two-year stint at Radford, Giles saw his workload rise significantly his sophomore season. After averaging 8.4 points per game, mostly off the bench as a freshman, he started all 32 games as a sophomore behind 14.3 points, 2.0 rebounds and 2.8 assists in 32.3 minutes per game. Giles was a Big South All-Freshman Team selection.

Giles finished his prep career at Silverado High School in Las Vegas, averaging 20.0 points and 4.0 assists per game.
