Kyle Blaine Kosier (/ˈkoʊʃər/; born November 27, 1978) is a former American football guard in the National Football League for the San Francisco 49ers, Detroit Lions and the Dallas Cowboys. He played college football at Arizona State University.
Kosier attended Cactus High School in Glendale, Arizona, where he was a letterman in football, basketball, baseball, and track.
In football, his athleticism allowed him to play middle linebacker at a bigger size than most players could. As a senior in 1996, the Arizona Republic named him to the All-Arizona Team, and KPNX-TV named him the 1996 Arizona Class 4A Defensive Player of the Year. He finished with 634 career tackles.
In 2011, he became the first football player to have his jersey retired by Cactus High School.
Kosier accepted a scholarship from Arizona State University to play defensive end, but a shortage of offensive linemen made him convert to offensive guard as a redshirt freshman. The next year he started the last 2 games of the season at right guard.
