Central Catholic’s Jimmy Kalis Adds Monster Offer

Back in January, PSN published a story stating that Central Catholic sophomore Jimmy Kalis was turning into a national recruit.

Nothing has happened since then to dispel that train of thought, as Kalis continues to get pursued by some of the biggest college football programs in the country.

On Friday, this 4-star offensive tackle picked up arguably his biggest offer to date as the Alabama Crimson Tide extended him an offer.

In terms of his national ranking, Rivals rates Kalis as the No. 6 prospect in the state for 2027, the No. 18 offensive tackle and the No. 205 overall player in the Class of 2027.

On Friday, a member of the WPIAL’s Class of 2027 made his decision as West Mifflin 4-star running back Armond Hill committed to West Virginia.

Hill becomes the second highly ranked WPIAL running back to make an early commitment. Last August, McKeesport 4-star Kemon Spell made a commitment to James Franklin and Penn State.

Other top talents in WPIAL’s Class of 2027 include Imani Christian 4-star defensive back Gabriel Jenkins, Penn Hills 4-star athlete Carter Bonner, Seton LaSalle 4-star athlete Khalil Taylor and Central Catholic 3-star athlete Zachary Gleason.
