Mansfield Promotes Larsen to Director of Volleyball Operations

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Kansas State head coach Jason Mansfield announced the promotion of Fletcher Larsen to director of volleyball operations Tuesday morning.

Larsen, who enters his fourth season on the coaching staff, was elevated to director of volleyball operations after spending the past three seasons as a student manager for the Wildcats.

"We are so excited to have Fletcher as our director of volleyball operations," Mansfield said. "He's put so much into this program the last three years as a manager, and his dedication, hard work and loyalty are exactly the qualities we want in this program."

As the director of volleyball operations, Larsen will lead the program's day-to-day operations and recruiting efforts, manage team travel and summer camps, and assist with video and analytics.

"He's become really good at analytics in a very short period of time and will continue to help us with statistics in practice, scouting and matches. His attention to detail and organization will be key in day-to-day activities as well as travel during the fall. He was very fortunate to have a great mentor in Quinn Roche and I think this will be a seamless transition," added Mansfield.

Larsen steps into the role previously held by Roche, who accepted a position at the University of Colorado this spring.

"I couldn't be more excited to officially join the K-State Volleyball staff," said Larsen. "Over the past three and a half years, I've had the chance to be part of something that's given me incredible opportunities and allowed me to grow in ways I never imagined. I've been fortunate to work with so many great people and witness the evolution of the team through each season.

I'm looking forward to continuing to support this program and doing everything I can to help make Manhattan a destination for top-level Division I volleyball. I'm grateful for the relationships I've built across the team and the university, and I'm excited to keep building on that foundation in this new role."

During his time as a student manager, Larsen contributed to 41 team victories, including a program-record five wins over top-25 opponents in 2023. His responsibilities included scouting preparation, data analytics, recruiting visit coordination and camp operations.

A native of Valentine, Nebraska, Larsen graduated from K-State with a degree in agriculture technology management in 2025.
