Lincoln Kienholz tosses two touchdown passes in All-American Game

It took nearly three quarters but the West team found the end zone in this year’s All-American Game and they did so in style.

Pierre (S.D.) T.F. Riggs four-star Ohio State quarterback signee Lincoln Kienholz was able to spin away from pressure and fired up a prayer into the end zone from 43 yards out.

Waiting in the end zone was Fort Worth (Texas) North Crowley four-star LSU tight end Ka’Morreun Pimpton. Pimpton had two defenders on him but both overplayed their coverage and Pimpton was able to box them out to secure the touchdown pass.

Kienholz is the No. 214 overall prospect and No. 15 quarterback in the 2024 cycle, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He is also the No. 1 player in South Dakota.

Kienholz had originally been committed to Washington but decommitted and flipped to Ohio State on Dec. 14.

Pimpton was a Vanderbilt commitment but flipped to LSU on the first day of the Early Signing Period.

With just over a minute remaining, Keinholz tossed his second and final touchdown of the game connecting with Mesquite (Texas) North Mesquite four-star TCU wide receiver signee Cordale Russell from 38 yards out.
