Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State's Karson Kiesewetter with his player profile
Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
He hasn't seen any snaps through two seasons on campus, but safety Karson Kiesewetter may get his first snaps in 2025. The former quarterback has been transitioning to a new position but may be acclimated enough for some playing time next season.
Preseason Player Profile
Hometown: Altoona, Pennsylvania
Height: 5-10
Weight: 194 lb
Class in 2025: Redshirt sophomore
Recruiting Rankings
Class of 2025: Unranked
Kiesewetter wasn't ranked by any major recruiting service but was named the 2021 Pennsylvania 1A Player of the Year. A lack of competition at the 1A level likely led to him being overlooked during his recruitment.
Depth Chart Overview
There's no lack of depth in the safety room, and it'll be difficult for Kiesewetter to get involved this season due to his lack of experience at the position and size limitations. It's possible he contributes on special teams.
