Kansas Walk-On Guard with Elite High School Scoring Pedigree Returning for 2026-27
Will Thengvall is a 6'4" sophomore walk-on guard for the Kansas Jayhawks who returns for the 2026-27 season after limited 2024-25 and 2025-26 college action (averaging 0.0 PPG, 0.2 REB) [1][6][9]. His differentiator is his explosive high school pedigree: as a senior at Kapaun Mt. Carmel, he averaged 17.6 PPG, 7.8 REB, and 3.5 APG, leading the 5A state tournament with 73 points [4]. While not a primary college scorer yet, Thengvall brings intense energy, rebounding versatility from the guard spot, and a proven scoring ceiling that makes him a high-upside depth piece for teams needing a gritty, athletic walk-on with state-tournament dominance [4][7]. He fits teams seeking intensity and rebounding from the wing, though he requires development in offensive consistency at the NCAA level.
