Kyle Kalis, St. Edward (Lakewood, Ohio), 6-5/300
Recognize the Kalis name? That?s because Kyle?s father Todd Kalis had a lengthy NFL career playing on the offensive line, mostly for the Minnesota Vikings. Kyle?s no slouch either, and he told Sporting News he?s firmly committed to Ohio State despite the turmoil the program is dealing with. Kalis has an outstanding reputation as a tackle, and he?ll bring tenacity to the next level. ?When college coaches come in to watch our lifts, the main thing they come away saying, from what my head coach tells me, is how physically strong I am,? Kalis said. ?And they say how impressed they are with my high motor. When I come in to lift, I don?t just come in to get it over with and get stronger but to get better as a leader. When people watch my film they can easily see that I?m one of the nastiest linemen they?ve ever seen.?
