Notre Dame Fighting Irish linebacker Jack Kiser is heading to the Jacksonville Jaguars after being picked fifth in the fourth round (107th overall) in the 2025 NFL draft.
Kiser was a defensive leader for Notre Dame over his five seasons with the Irish, and in 2024 he compiled 90 tackles — 55 solo — and had two sacks. He also forced two fumbles and recovered two fumbles. In 2021, he had two interceptions and two defensive touchdowns.
Kiser was a finalist for both the Wuerffel Trophy and Campbell Trophy in 2024.
Now Kiser has reached the NFL, becoming the third member of the 2024 Fighting Irish to be drafted. All three drafted so far have been defensive players — Kiser joins defensive backs Benjamin Morrison and Xavier Watts in the NFL.
