Stathen Kienzle Stathen Kienzle 6'0" | 185 lbs | LB/RB Smiths Station | 2028 AL is a talented LB from Smiths Station who really emerged as a leader of his team’s defense this past fall.

“Kienzle is at his best when he’s blitzing. He’s quick to get downhill and is a disruptive force who can get behind the line of scrimmage and pressure/affect the quarterback in a ton of different ways. I’m impressed with his hustle and closing speed. Once he gets moving, he can make some really impressive stops in pursuit.

Kienzle is a super reliable tackler. He’s highly reactive, can quickly cover ground, and does a great job wrapping up and not allowing for any additional yards after making contact. Kienzle had a really solid second year and will only keep getting better. There’s a ton to already like with his game.”

Kienzle put together some great film from this past season. He’s a talented defender with a huge junior season ahead of him this fall. We all need to look out.
