Kessler has been a true plug in the middle of the Palo Alto defense for the past three seasons and has been one of the top tacklers across the central coast section for the past two years. He is a plug and play linebacker that bangs in the box, shows he can get off blocks quickly without losing ground and takes good angles into the backfield when making plays behind the line of scrimmage. He checks into our watch list rankings this time around and is a no-brainer D3 plus player at the next level.
