Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Kahl was a problem for defenses when I saw him playing for Iowa City High as a sophomore in 2024. That was the case again during an in-person scout when his new team, Prairie, faced Iowa City West on Oct. 17, 2025. He rushed for more than 150 yards and ripped off a long touchdown run late that keyed an upset victory. Kahl is a bigger back that relies on power over finesse. He’s tough to arm-tackle, and it often takes multiple defenders to bring him to the ground. It’s best to do that early because he’s a load when he gets a head of steam and there’s deceptive speed in the open field. Colleges are recruiting him as a running back but also see a skill set that would work at linebacker.
