MANHATTAN, Kan. – K-State head volleyball coach
Jason Mansfield announced the additions of UTEP transfer Fuka Sekita and Tennessee transfer Camdyn Stucky to the 2026 roster Wednesday morning.
Sekita, a 5-foot-1 libero/defensive specialist from Hyogo, Japan, comes to Manhattan for her senior season after a one-year stint at UTEP, where she helped the Miners to a 25-5 overall record and first-round appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
“We are so excited to welcome Fuka to our K-State Volleyball family,” Mansfield said. “She is a quick, fearless defender who is incredibly skilled as a passer, server, and setter. Fuka is driven to be the best she can be, has a deep love for the game of volleyball and will bring a great deal of experience and passion to our team.”
In her lone season at UTEP, Sekita anchored the Miners’ defense with a team-leading 364 digs (3.64 digs per set) – the seventh-best mark in the Conference USA – and reached double-figure digs in 23 matches. She produced a season-best 24 digs against Missouri State on November 1, while also adding 99 assists and 19 service aces.
“I chose K-State because it will be a great experience to play in one of the best conferences,” Sekita said. “The people were so positive, and I felt very comfortable with them. Also, K-State has amazing facilities. These are the reasons why I chose K-State.”
Prior to her time at UTEP, Sekita posted two standout seasons at New Mexico Military Institute, earning NJCAA First Team All-American and AVCA Second Team All-American honors. At NMMI, Sekita competed in 243 sets across 69 matches and tallied an impressive 1,297 digs, averaging 5.34 digs per set, while also contributing 191 assists and 65 service aces.
In addition to her All-American honors, Sekita named the 2023 Western Junior College Athletic Conference (WJCAC) Defensive Player of the Year and 2024 WJCAC Conference Most Valuable Player. She also earned 13 WJCAC Player of the Week honors and was a four-time NJCAA Defensive Player of the Week.
Sekita is the daughter of Yumiko Sekita and has two siblings, Nodoka and Akari. She plans to study kinesiology during her time at K-State.
Stucky, a 6-foot-3 setter, returns to her home state of Kansas following her redshirt-freshman campaign at Tennessee, where she appeared in seven matches and recorded five kills, three assists, and two blocks.
“We are so excited to welcome Camdyn to our K-State Volleyball family,” Mansfield said. “She is a long, dynamic athlete with great hands who can play the entire game at a high level. Camdyn is strong in her faith, and family means everything to her. We love having another Kansas kid in our program.”
Prior to her commitment to Tennessee, Stucky was a two-sport athlete and letterwinner at Maize South High School in Wichita, also pitching for the Mavericks’ softball team.
“I was looking for a place near home where I could thrive, and that’s exactly what I found,” Stucky said. “I am so grateful.”
She capped her senior campaign with 935 assists, 207 digs, 173 kills, 57 aces and 54 blocks to lead Maize South to its third-place finish in the Kansas 5A State Tournament and a 38-5 overall record. Her performance at the tournament earned her a spot on the All-State Tournament Team.
Stucky also recorded five matches with 30 or more assists and posted one double-double, finishing with 37 assists and 11 digs. She led the squad in assists and aces, ranked second in blocks and digs, and tallied five or more kills in 17 matches. She finished third on the team in kills and led the Mavericks with a .435 hitting percentage on the season.
During her junior campaign, Stucky tallied 790 assists, 165 digs, 123 kills, 49 aces and 41 blocks en route to earning First Team All-Ark Valley-Chisholm Trail Division I and Second Team All-Class 5A honors.
She is the daughter of Casey and Cody Stucky, and has four siblings: Caiya, Cy, Cohen, and Channing. She plans to major in business while attending K-State.
The Wildcats finished the 2025 season with an 18-10 overall record and a 10-8 mark in Big 12 play, earning the program’s first at-large bid to the NCAA Division I Volleyball Championship since 2021.
