The most interesting recruit in the Midwest.

Got his first two offers this week. Plays for a 1A powerhouse an hour south of ND. They were runners up last year.

Dad was an all time Track and Field guy at Purdue, older brother is playing FCS football (I forgot where) Sister is a Louisville track commit or freshman. He is an all around track star. Runs in the 11.3's in the 100m, low 22's in the 200m, throw the shot 50' and the discus 155'+

And with this, my profile making career comes to a close.

Listening to the Purdue - UoL game they mentioned Purdue starting to recruit Indiana more heavily. Evidently Hazell didn't try to hold the fort in Indiana and had a poor relationship with most HS coaches in Indiana.

Interesting pick of him and the other Kizer.

Jack's a lot taller than I thought or DeShone is standing in a divot.

Missed this. Wiltfong CB'd him to Purdue which makes perfect sense.

[MacIrish75]

If he goes to Purdue, he'll be a tremendous talent for them. His HC is a college buddy of mine, and Pioneer is one of the premiere small-school football programs in Indiana. It amuses me that a kid from Royal Center (a town so small you can spit from one side to the other) has a profile on here.

[BeauBenken]

May play against him this year if we meet in semi state. They are #1; we're #3. They've been destroying people.

It was nice to see someone dethrone Lafayette Central Catholic. LCC has no business in 1A. They recruit out of 15 school districts.

247 says Kiser was at the SC game which would have been his 3rd game visit this year. Nothing about it on twitter however.

Did find this though:

Don't worry, I'll be gone again in January and the site can go back to:

Hard to think what position the kid will play. But he is at least 6'3" and probably 225 now if I'd have to guess. Runs better than any kid on the field and he's bigger than any kid on the field too. Good luck to him and his team in state next week. It was a fun run for us.

Jack Kiser vs. Caleb Hamilton will be an epic battle.

[NDCrusader]

Surprising... Visiting for Jr Day II this weekend per his 247 timeline.

Can't see him going anywhere but Purdue. Who knows?

[NDIrish88]

Why wouldn't he go ND if we offer?

[MacIrish75]

Why wouldn't he go ND if we offer?

I think the expectation is that we *won't* offer. And, based off the types of programs our recruits generally come from, I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't...HOWEVER, in the '18 class we took John Dirksen, a mid-rated recruit from one of the premier small-school program in Ohio. Jack Kiser plays for one of the premier small-school programs in Indiana, so there is a precedent.

I think the consensus is Purdue *IF* we don't offer. ND would be a game-changer.

[NDCrusader]

Regardless if they offer or not, the reason I don't see him going to ND is how connected the family is to Purdue. Dad was a big deal at Purdue in track and they live maybe 45 minutes from campus? Farm boy + farm school = makes sense.

Plus Brohm is going to put together a nice little 2019 class

[Irish YJ]

So is he still playing QB too? Anyone recruiting him at QB?

Can a 1A really be a powerhouse?

Mac, you're insanely correct on this!!! I've had to go to Royal Center a few times for work, not only is it smaller than a black dot on a map, it is literally in the middle of f*@king nowhere!!!!!! I'd like to see the kid earn a school, but it'd be a tremendous pick up for the Boilers!!! If he goes that route......

[NDCrusader]

Karlaftis only beat him by a foot in the Shot. I think Karlaftis placed last year as a soph. Can't wait to see Kiser's Opening score.

Kiser has offers from Iowa, Purdue, Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska,
Hearing you Can add Wisconsin and Northwestern after this weekend.
ND may miss the boat on this guy

[Luckylucci]

Would be a nice addition to any program, and would have no problem with an offer. However, with some of the talent that ND is in on at LB/Rover, I can certainly understand waiting. Keep communicating and inviting him to campus, and go from there.

Yeah, I don't think there's room on the boat for him at the moment, especially if one or two of the safeties with high interest end up playing LB.

[NDCrusader]

Will set the all time visit record without an offer on Tuesday.

[condoms SUCk]

Will set the all time visit record without an offer on Tuesday.

Watch; ND passes on this kid to wait for “ bigger fish”. We miss on those guys, come back around to a Jack and of course he has committed to Wisconsin.
Jack becomes the next Luke Kuechly and helps Wisky beat ND in 2020& 2021.

[Edge]

He's about 6'3 215 right now.
Was star of star at track relays throwing shot 55' and winning 100 in 11.0.
Ohio State in contact as well now
Irish may very well miss out on guy in their back yard

In exchange for Okwonu, Henrich, Lytle, or Maguire? Yeah I'm okay with that.

[Edge]

Kiser is better and more versatile than Henrich
I agree, if you can get true 5-star players get em but those guys usually go to Alabama

[BeauBenken]

Edge, are you family or a coach? Asking because you sound invested here.

Either way, welcome aboard. Coached against Kiser, I've never seen someone his size move like he can up close like that before. Kid is athletically gifted for sure, but since he played safety, I did not see enough physicality to know if he could play linebacker.

This is semi-related, but are you guys members over on the Gridiron Digest? I don't post as much as I used to since the forum crashed and they reset everything.

[Edge]

Just a fan of his and ND
Noticed ND was interested
Great article in Miami newspaper from big 7-7 tournament where they noticed him and put him in their "stars to watch" category

Rumors are Iowa and Michigan State in the lead for his services
He will be fine wherever he ends up for sure

Are you close enough to the situation to know if he'd prefer ND if they offered?

Hard to believe he doesn't like Purdue above Iowa & MSU being Dad was a Boiler athlete, it's right next door and Brohm's making noise on the trail.

Maybe Purdue is up there too
May like MSU and Iowa as established excellent defenses

So any idea if ND would be his preferred team if they offered?

[Edge]

Not sure but fact he has been up there 4-5 times I'd say he is highly interested
Everything I've read says he is a fan of Coach Lea

Of course I guess he was at Purdue quite a few times too.
Probably because both are very close
He attended MSU spring practices as well
Be interesting if Ohio State takes serious look
Penn State Michigan in also now

For his size (6'3 215) he does well all over the track too

166' discus
