At the G-MAC Championship, Stollings won five event titles including the 100 butterfly, 100 backstroke, 400 freestyle relay, 400 medley relay, and 200 medley relay. As a result, he was named the G-MAC Swimmer of the Meet and was later named G-MAC Men's Swimmer of the Year on the way to leading the team to the 2024 G-MAC Championship, the seventh straight. At the NCAA DII National Championship, Stollings led the Oilers to a 10th-place finish. At the meet, the Prichard, West Virginia product earned first team all-American in the 100 butterfly, 100 backstroke, 200 medley relay, and 400 medley relay, and also captured second team all-American in the 50 free, 200 free relay, and 400 free relay. The culmination of the meet came in the 100 butterfly when Stollings claimed the national championship, the second of his career. Stollings is also a two-time academic all-district and all-American pick and was the 2023-24 Findlay Mancuso Award winner.
