Ben Sinnott went to the Kansas State University in 2020-2023, majoring in marketing. He redshirted his first season but was named for the first-team All-Big 12 Conference in his sophomore and junior seasons in 2022 and 2023. Several career accolades followed him at the Kansas State Wildcats, including two nominations to the All-American team (academic and honorable mention in 2023).

Among all K-State tight ends, he has the third-most receptions (82) and fourth-most receiving yards over three seasons.
