Â
A 6-foot-6, 215-pound forward originally from Louisville, Ky., Lindsay arrives at K-State from Oregon, where he spent the past two seasons (2024-26), including a redshirt year in 2024-25.

Â
Lindsay scored in 29 of 32 games played with five double-digit scoring games highlighted by a season-high 16 points on 6-of-10 shooting to go with 5 assists in a win over Penn State on Feb. 14. He had double figures in two other Big Ten games, including 10 vs. Iowa on Feb. 1 and 11 vs. Washington on March 7. He grabbed 5 or more rebounds seven times, including a season-best 6 on three occasions, while he dished out a season-high 7 assists vs. Omaha on Dec. 28.

Lindsay transferred to Oregon after two seasons (2022-24) in the junior college ranks at Florida SouthWestern State in Fort Myers, Fla., where he played in 53 games with 32 starts for a Buccaneer squad that posted a 42-18 overall record. A two-time all-conference pick, he averaged 13.3 points on 50.2 percent (277-of-552) shooting, including 36.5 percent (50-of-137) from 3-point range, in his 2-year career with 5.4 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 1.3 steals in 25.8 minutes per game.
Â
Lindsay's best season at FSW came as a sophomore in 2023-24 when he averaged 16 points on 50 percent (161-of-322) shooting, including 41.5 percent (34-of-82) from 3-point range, to go with 7.3 rebounds, 2.9 assists and 1.7 steals in 25.8 minutes per game. He earned FCSAA Region 8 All-State honors and was the First Team All-Conference pick after averaging 18.5 points in conference pay, while ranking in the top-5 in points, field goal percentage and 3-point field goal percentage. He scored a career-high 38 points against No. 4 Dayton State to earn NJCAA National Player of the Week honors on Feb. 7, 2024.
Â
Lindsay played his prep basketball at Louisville's Male High School, where he led the Bulldogs to a 28-6 record and a trip to the Sweet 16 of the 2022 KHSAA State Tournament.
