Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!The 6-foot-7 Kirker finished his high school career with two consecutive sectional championships and was the top selection of the Rensselaer Honda Boys High School Basketball All-Star Team.
Basketball scouts have described Kirker as a gifted, highly versatile player who can shoot the ball well from the outside, elude defenders while getting to the basket and finishing. Plus, on the defensive end, he can block and alter shots with his nice length and size.
Mercyhurst posted a 17-17 record and went 10-8 in Northeast Conference (NEC) action in the 2025-26 campaign.
