Playing for the Colorado Crush and Colorado Ice, the speedy Kaiser was a four-time All-IFL selection and the first receiver in league history to be named first-team three consecutive years (2013-15). Retiring after the 2017 season, Kaiser finished IFL career with 295 catches for 3,939 receiving yards and 98 touchdowns. His TD total ranks fourth best in IFL history and he also is one of just five receivers in league history to catch 20 TD passes in three or more years.

Not surprisingly the Broomfield, Colo., native is one of UNK's all-time best receivers. Between 2007 and 2010 he caught 152 passes for 3,335 yards and 38 TD's. That allows him to rank second in UNK history in both career receiving yards and receiving TD's and fourth in career receptions. Kaiser's play helped UNK reach the 2009 NCAA playoffs, win two RMAC (Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference) titles and win 33 games. Individually, he was a three-time first-team All-RMAC pick and a two-time all-region selection. 

Also a member of the Loper track team his senior season (6.82 60 meter dash), Kaiser spent time working for NASCAR and played professional football in Europe before returning state side to be a member of the IFL's Colorado franchise.
