High-upside UNI linebacker still waiting for his first game action
Connor Kayser is a redshirt sophomore linebacker at UNI who brings an NFL-sized frame at 6-4, 225 and a decorated high-school résumé, but he has not yet appeared in a college game. UNI lists him as a first-team all-state defender out of Ankeny High School, which suggests real long-term upside if his development catches up to his physical tools. He’s best viewed as a project with traits: size, pedigree, and potential value as a future downhill, physical fit for an FCS defense.
