Seattle University men’s basketball has added guard Shaun Stinson to its 2026–27 roster, the athletic department announced Sept. 21.
Seattle U lists Stinson as a 6-foot-2 guard from West Covina, California. His prep path included Bishop Amat High School, Apex International Sports Academy and South Kent School.
The source-backed production record
The Redhawks say Stinson averaged 19.0 points, 4.3 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 2.3 steals per game as a senior at Apex International Sports Academy. The university also reported that he earned back-to-back AISA Most Valuable Player honors and First Team All-PEC 6 recognition in both his junior and senior seasons.
Those detailed statistics and honors are attributed to Seattle U’s announcement. The release identifies the results as part of his pre-college record; it does not promise a role, scholarship designation or statistical outcome with the Redhawks.
A multi-stop prep route
Stinson spent the 2025–26 season at South Kent School in Connecticut, where Seattle U says he earned All-New England Basketball League honors. Before that, the university says he earned multiple All-Tournament Team selections and All-Camino Real League honors at Bishop Amat.
The release also notes extensive club experience with BTI, most recently BTI United, and participation on the 3SSB and Pro16 circuits. Stinson also spent one season with IME, representing Instituto de los Mexicanos en el Exterior at Mexico’s Nacionales CONADE youth championships.
Academic and leadership context
Seattle U reported that Stinson maintained a 4.5 cumulative GPA, was recognized as an AP Scholar with Distinction and served as student body president through high school. It also described him as a two-sport athlete at Bishop Amat who competed in track and field and holds the school’s high-jump record.
The official update provides a record of the addition and the background Seattle U cited. His game role and impact for the 2026–27 Redhawks remain for the season itself to determine.
