Benjamin Thomas Sinnott (b. June 14, 2002) is a preferred walk-on fullback and tight end from Columbus Catholic High School in Waterloo, Iowa, who is majoring in kinesiology.

He redshirted and did not see any game action in the pandemic-shortened 2020 season.

Sinnott lettered three years for the Columbus Catholic Sailors under coach Brad Schmit.

He was named to the Iowa Print Sports Writers Association all-state team as a tight end, wide receiver and defensive end; earned the Black Hawk County All-Metro Football Award on offense in 2019 and defense in 2019; and also picked up all-district honors.

Sinnott hauled in 61 career receptions for 958 yards and 22 touchdowns, while he also had 24 carries for 194 yards and five scores.

Defensively, he totaled 109 career tackles, nine sacks, 27.5 tackles for loss and four picks, and also lettered in baseball, golf, tennis, track and hockey.

Sinnott’s cousin, Ashlee Sinnott, played volleyball at Northern Iowa, while another cousin of his, Zach Hammes, was drafted by the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Sinnott decommitted from South Dakota in late 2019 to accept a PWO offer from K-State.
