Jarrett Kies brings verified speed and multi-sport athleticism to UNI’s linebacker room
Jarrett Kies is a rising UNI linebacker whose best selling points are measurable athleticism and room to grow: he was listed at 6-foot-3, 220 pounds in UNI’s signing release, and he reported a 4.40-second 40-yard dash with a 31-inch vertical, rare burst traits for a linebacker.[3][9][2] He did not see game action in 2025, so he’s more projection than production right now, but his track background and testing numbers suggest a high-upside fit for a staff that values speed, range, and development.[3][1]
