Kai has been one of my favorite area interior defensive linemen for the past couple of years, and now college football programs are starting to recognize what I’ve seen for a while. Kai’s strength and get off at the line of scrimmage as a defensive tackle is impressive, and he does a great job of playing in gaps and keeping linemen off of his linebackers. Kai has picked up his first three offers this offseason – coming from Towson, Gardner-Webb, and Campbell universities, respectively.
