“I love football, and I want to play football. I thought leaving (Penn State) gave me the best opportunity to play. It was stressful. … I knew I would end up in the right spot, and I am really glad I’m at IUP.” — Karson Kiesewetter

He will be missed. One of the best!

[Robert Miller @ELCORaiderFB]

Thank you Colin Daub for this.

[Joe Thomas @jthomas4325]

He was one of the best! Everything he did for me as a player! He will be missed. Prayers for his family.

[Robert Miller @ELCORaiderFB]

It’s with a very heavy heart that we hear of the passing of our beloved Coach John Carley. His passion and love of the game was only matched by his love for his family. A football man through and through. He’ll be missed but the 25 plus years of men he impacted will never forget.
