Kinsea Grimes is Coastal Carolina’s freshman breakout with real two-way juice
In the 2025-26 season, Kinsea Grimes emerged as a Sun Belt Freshman of the Year after averaging 11.3 points and 6.6 rebounds in 29 games, with 16 double-figure scoring nights and a 25-point, 11-rebound breakout against Gardner-Webb. She stands out as a 6-foot forward who can score inside, knock down enough shots to stretch defenses, and rebound with attitude—plus she showed freshman poise by becoming the first true freshman at Coastal to average double figures since 2011-12. If you want a young frontcourt piece with production, toughness, and upside, she’s absolutely worth a hard look.
