KIZER EARNED 2ND TEAM ALL-ARENA DEFENSE IN 2015
Los Angeles, CA (November 6th, 2015) – The LA KISS have retained 2nd team All-Arena Defensive Player, Rayshaun Kizer for the 2016 season. Rayshaun came to the LA KISS halfway through last season from the New Orleans VooDoo and helped bolster the LA KISS’ defense to one of the best in the league. The 6 year veteran lead the team last year with 87 tackles and 5 interceptions, 2 of which were returned for touchdowns. Kizer also earned AFL MVP for Week 11 and Defensive Player of the week in week 12.
“Having a veteran All-Arena defensive back like Rayshaun Kizer solidifies our defense as one of the best in the league,” said Joe Windham, CEO of the LA KISS. “We are excited to have him back on our team in 2016.”
The 5'10”, 195 pound safety from Walsh University, was named Second Team All-Arena in 2013, 2014 and 2015. He earned 2nd Team All-Arena honors after recording 82 tackles and nine interceptions in 18 games with the Philadelphia Soul in 2013. He was named 2nd Team All-Arena for the second consecutive year after collecting 101.5 tackles and nine interceptions in 18 games in 2014. He is also in the Top 5 for career interceptions by a defensive back in the AFL with 62 interceptions heading into this season.
Kizer has also spent time with the Orlando Predators and Philadelphia Soul before being assigned to the Rattlers prior to the 2015 season and then traded to New Orleans in late March of this year.
