From 2002 to 2005, Kole played for legendary Coaches Chris Ardissono and Mark Rotter at Bruning-Davenport. In his prep career, his 4,500 career yards of total offense would lead the Storm to a 42-4 record, 4 consecutive playoff appearances, and the historic 2005 Class D-2 State Championship. Kole carried on a proud family football tradition started by his father Kelly (an All- State RB for Davenport in the mid-1970’s), while also serving as a foundational building-block for a program that would achieve state-wide 8-Man acclaim in the decades that followed. From the very beginning of his high school career, Kole was one of the premier players in the state as a play- making Quarterback and Safety. Along the way he was named 1st Team All- Area, 1st Team All-Conference, 1st Team All-District, and 1st Team All-State on multiple occasions. Then in the Summer of 2006, he was selected to play in the 8-Man All-Star Game, the Nebraska vs. Oklahoma All-Star Game, and the Nebraska Shrine Bowl as well. He went on to play Safety for four years at Concordia University and later returned home to his alma mater, where he won 2 additional State Titles as an assistant coach (2015 and 2017). The NEMFCA is honored to now welcome him into the Hall of Fame Class of 2026.
