"Kingston found himself turning to God for guidance.“I’d always just get down and pray, like, ‘Please help me. Please lead me in a direction that I need to go and I just kept feeling like I needed to stay,” he said.“Alright, I need to go somewhere because we got all the receivers coming back. I’m going to be in the same position,” Kingston recalled thinking at the time.After praying, the receiver decided to stay in Provo another season.He thought, “‘No, I got to stay. Everything’s going to work out.’”“And it did. This year I had the best year of my life, and I wouldn’t have had this much success if I had left and went somewhere else,” Kingston said.[...] “Once I went through the temple, I was like, ‘Yeah, this is what all, everything I did this year — scoring touchdowns, catching passes — that was the best moment of my 2025 right there.’"[...] “I just prayed for like an open mind, a clear mind to help me be the best individual and person that I can be on and off the field,” he said. “I pray for that every day, just giving me opportunities to be a light on other people and use my platform to inspire kids. I just kept praying for that open mind, ‘Give me health, give me strength,’ and it came to light.”"-

"“I am sorry for what I’ve done. I’m so, so sorry for the pain inflicted on your beautiful, precious families.
