CINCINNATI – When Kyle Rudolph stepped foot on the field as a freshman at Elder High School, it didn’t take long for Head Coach Doug Ramsey to know that Rudolph would be something special – and it wasn’t just the freshman’s 6-foot-4 frame.
“He just had all the tools,” Ramsey said. “You just knew good things were going to happen.”
Rudolph’s athletic talent was undeniable. What Ramsey noticed on top of that, however, was the tight end’s work ethic.
“Kyle was always a great player, a great athlete, but he’s also one of the hardest-working guys we’ve ever had in the program,” Ramsey said.
