Jaguars selected Notre Dame LB Jack Kiser with the No. 107 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.
A true program leader for the Irish, Kiser (6’2/231) spent six years in South Bend as a special teams ace who started 18 games in his first five seasons as a rotational player. He started all 16 games during ND’s National Championship run, leading the team with 90 tackles and a smothering 4.6-percent missed tackle rate that ranked second-best among all P4 linebackers. Notre Dame’s all-time leader with 70 career games played thanks to the pandemic exemption, he will be a ripe 25 years old when the NFL season starts. Kiser has a respectable athletic profile with a 7.68 RAS, but his stubby 30 3/8th” arms could present a problem taking on blockers at the next level. The team captain quickly identifies opposing play designs and is an expert finisher in the run game once he hones in on his target. His versatility is a plus, as Kiser’s ample special teams experience should help him stick around on NFL rosters despite a less than ideal physical profile.
