Another week, another standout performance for LSU running back commit Corey Kiner.

If there’s one thing the coronavirus pandemic hasn’t affected for the Tigers, it’s their level of recruiting. And Kiner’s most recent showing proved that LSU is getting another good one to add the the ground game in the future.

Kiner, a four-star running back from Roger Bacon High School in Cincinnati, had another big performance over the weekend, leading his team to a 4-0 start on the season.

Kiner rushed for 256 yards and two touchdowns, including a 97-yard run.

Kiner is now tied for No. 8 all-time in Ohio in total touchdowns and tied for No. 7 in rushing touchdowns. He has 6,301 yards rushing, which is No. 23 all-time in the state’s rich football history.

Running back with Irish offer Commits to National Champs

Notre Dame offer Corey Kiner of Ohio commits to LSU taking yet another name off the Irish’s running back recruiting board.

Yet another name can be crossed off Notre Dame’s running back big board as Ohioan Corey Kiner has committed to LSU today. The Tigers just got involved in Kiner’s recruitment, offering him just a little more than 6 weeks ago.

Kiner was a prospect that I thought made a ton of sense for the Irish to go hard after. The Irish have had good luck with prospects from the Cincinnati area, but this just wasn’t meant to be. That seems like the trend with running backs in this cycle, as Notre Dame has missed out on a lot of their early offers at the position, with North Carolina’s Will Shipley going to Clemson hurting the most.

The Irish must now go out and look for a running back that they didn’t expect to go all that hard after, but that is the roller coaster called recruiting. At this point in time I would expect for Brian Kelly to turn his focus onto Michigan’s Donovan Edwards and Texas’ Prophet Brown. If neither of them work out, look for the Irish to go after Louisiana’s Logan Diggs and Texas’ Alton McCaskill. All four of these prospects have Notre Dame offers and each one of them would look fantastic wearing Blue and Gold.

Georgia cracks four-star RB’s top schools

Georgia football is among the top ten schools for four-star running back Corey Kiner, who is from Ohio.

Georgia football is among the top ten schools for four-star running back Corey Kiner. Kiner is a talented back from the state of Ohio. He plays high school football at Roger Bacon High School in Cincinnati.

As a member of the class of 2021, he could join recent commitment Marlin Dean in Athens. Kirby Smart and the Dawgs are still looking for their first running back in the class of 2021. Georgia is a top destination for backs and is battling for the RBU title of college football.

While Kiner’s recruitment is still open, these are his top ten schools:

Georgia will be competing with the likes of Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue. Texas A&M, Cincinnati, LSU, Florida, Louisville, and Michigan for the four-star back.  Kiner has scored 81 touchdowns throughout his career and should be a big-time producer in college.

Kiner flashes quickness and a penchant for big-plays. At 5 foot, 10 inches, and 210 pounds, Kiner has excellent size for a running back. Check out his highlights per Hudl:

Kiner would be a good fit in Athens. Georgia is going to land a talented running back in the class of 2021. You can bet on that!

With Michigan’s pursuit of West Bloomfield (MI) four-star RB Donovan Edwards and Hopewell (VA) five-star RB TreVeyon Henderson, there’s been one target that the Wolverines have been eyeing that the staff has long pursued — and it’s paid off.

The maize and blue have long sought after 2021 Cincinnati (OH) Roger Bacon four-star running back Corey Kiner, ranked No. 160 overall by the 247Sports Composite. He was offered back on Jan. 10, 2019 and has been on campus multiple times, including last spring and for the Ohio State game in Ann Arbor last fall.

After multiple (hilarious) fake recruitment videos, where Kiner would list, say, Skyline Chili as being his favorite instead of a school, he finally released his actual top ten on Friday, and Michigan made the cut.

[lawrence-related id=22160,22142,22133]

However, the Wolverines have heavy competition for his services, as Ohio State, LSU, Georgia, Penn State, Texas A&M, Louisville, Florida, Cincinnati and Purdue also made Kiner’s top ten.
