<\/a><\/p>\n

New South Wales prospect Harry Kyle<\/a> is a 188cm utility out of the Sydney Academy.<\/p>\n

An athletic and genuinely versatile player who has the tools to impact across all parts of the ground, Kyle has been a big riser of 2025.<\/p>\n

Remarkably, this year was Kyle’s first full season ensconced in the footy talent pathway, having grown up with rugby union, which gives him a unique skillset he is able to bring across to footy, with his ability to draw defenders and sidestep making him a dangerous asset in traffic with his ability to find space.<\/p>\n

Has some similar traits to GWS Giants<\/a> midfielder Finn Callaghan<\/a> with his high-octane style, transition presence, size, power and running capacity, which were on show for Sydney Academy in the Coates Talent League early in 2025 – a four-game stretch which laid the foundation for Kyle’s selection in the Allies squad and VFL match.<\/p>\n

Given how far back Kyle started the season, unlike most Academy contemporaries, he didn’t get the opportunity to immerse himself in an AFL<\/a> pre-season, yet so steep has his rise been that there is a school of thought from some that he will be the first Sydney Academy player bid on at the AFL<\/a> National Draft.<\/p>\n

A player with tremendous scope who won the standing vertical jump at the National AFL Draft<\/a> Combine, he looks likely to start his career off half-back, where his boldness and damaging ball use will come to the fore.<\/p>\n
