Expert Analysis
Paul Gregorian | Prep Redzone Scout
Recent Commitment: Princeton
Notes: Kier is one of the top wide receivers across all of Southern California and is a big time steal for the Ivy Leagues. Recently transferring to Orange Lutheran from Loyola this off-season, he will be one of the top players in the Trinity League and is another prospect that should make an instant impact at the next level once he graduates.

Kier rises up the 2026 rankings to inside the top 100 overall. Solid size at 6’2” 190 lbs. with length and growth potential as he develops. Shows he can create separation at all three levels with speed and creative route running. He’s got good acceleration and a hard drive phase off the ball to pressure defenders to transition early. He gets in and out of his cuts with speed while dropping his hip level at the break point to quickly change directions. Plus ball judgement skills, he tracks it well into his hands and demonstrates that he can make tough contested receptions in traffic. Large catch radius and good body control to bring in catches outside his framework. Can pick up chunk yardage after the catch combining his speed and power at the contact point. Had 75 receptions for 950 yards and 11 touchdowns as a junior and holds five D1 offers.
5 Offers: Cal, Illinois, UNLV, Colorado State, Kansas

picked up his first offer from UNLV last Tuesday.
Kier caught 27 passes for 375 yards with three touchdowns for a Mission Viejo team last season that won a State championship.
UNLV is the first school to offer Kier but he is having great showings on the 7-on-7 circuit and I expect his recruiting to heat up soon.
