Feb 04, 2026 | Volleyball
MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State head volleyball coach Jason Mansfield added to the 2026 recruiting class with the signing of Chandler Carter.
Â
Carter, a 5-foot-7 libero hails from Spring, Texas, and was a three-year letterwinner at Klein Collins High School, where she also ran track for the Tigers.
Â
"Chandler is the definition of a student-athlete," Mansfield said. "In the classroom, she excelled, graduating high school in just three years. On the court, she is a dynamic athlete—fearless and lightning quick on defense—who continues to develop her all-around game as a libero. Chandler gets better every time I watch her play, and we're excited to welcome her to K-State this fall."
Â
At Klein Collins, Carter was a two-time First Team All-District honoree for the Tigers. Â She compiled over 1,100 digs to go along with 798 kills and 150 service aces. In the classroom, she was awarded Academic All-State honors for her excellence off the court.
Â
"Kansas State stole my heart with its emphasis on culture, character, and competitiveness," Carter said. "The coaches and team were so welcoming and supportive, and I knew I could grow as a player while building real relationships in a program with a strong culture and vision for success. It felt like home the second I stepped on campus."
Â
She is the daughter of Amanda and David Carter and has one sister, Savannah. Carter intends to join the pre-med program at K-State.
