Kyle is ranked as the #2 DT in the Midwest by Scout and he committed to Purdue last February. Kyle's Grandfather, Terry Sheehan, was a two-time All-American at Purdue in the 1950's.
However, tOSU has entered the picture and Kyle says he is going to look in to the BUckeyes before making a final decision. tOSU is looking at him as a TE, but he says they are also promising him a look as a DL. This season, Kyle had 81 tackles, 19 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles,caught 9 balls for 112 yards, scored one touchdown, and had 60 pancake blocks this year. He is a legit 6-foot-4, 255-pounds, squats 500 pounds, benches over 400 pounds, and runs a 4.8 40-yard dash. Kyle is described as a high intensity player who is always at full speed. He put up this season's incredible numbers while playing with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Also....the kid has a 4.0 GPA.
With an official offer from tOSU, Kyle is planniing on setting up a visit to Columbus in December.
My take: Sounds like another Minnesota recruit from last year eh? The legacy spin has me doubtful, but if he is willing to take an official visit, we all know anything is possible.
