In 2016, Saint Vincent led the conference in passing yards per game (300), which ranked 29th nationally, and red zone scoring (84%) as five players earned All-Conference accolades.
A native of Pittsburgh, Pa., Kline earned a bachelor’s degree in business management from John Carroll in 2014 and a master’s degree in management sciences from Saint Vincent College in 2016.
