In his incredible varsity career, good things started early on for Roger Bacon's Corey Kiner, one of the best high school running backs in the nation in the class of 2021.

He finished the season rushing for 1,226 yards and 15 touchdowns ... and he was just beginning.

For the next three years, Corey kept on running and setting records (11 school records) and was one of the most sought-after college recruits in Greater Cincinnati. He was on Sports Illustrated's preseason high school All-American watch list. His numbers are staggering: his 7,130 career rushing yards ranks him tenth in Ohio history; his 116 rushing touchdowns is third in Ohio history, and his 125 total TDs and his 772 points scored are both third in Ohio history. During his varsity career, he amassed an astounding 8,937 all-purpose yards.

Cory has won an entire trophy case full of awards, including his senior year when he was named Ohio Mr. Football, Gatorade Ohio Player of the Year, Southwest Ohio District Div. V Offensive Player of the Year, Cincinnati Div. V-VI Offensive Player of the Year and second team All-American by MaxPreps.
