Kiero Small (born May 1, 1989) is an American college football coach and former fullback. He is the director of strength and conditioning for Purdue University, a position he has held since 2023. He was selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the seventh round of the 2014 NFL draft. He played college football at Arkansas.
Small played his freshman and sophomore seasons at Hartnell College, a junior college in Salinas, California. He signed with the University of Arkansas in 2011 as an inside linebacker, but was moved to offense and converted to a fullback prior to his junior season with the Razorbacks. Arkansas finished 2011 ranked #5 in the final polls with an 11–2 record after beating Kansas State in the 2012 Cotton Bowl Classic. Small suffered an injury early in his 2012 senior campaign and was forced to redshirt. As a redshirt senior in 2013, Small played a significant role in Bret Bielema's first season as a devastating blocking back, as well as a receiver out of the backfield, scoring 3 rushing touchdowns and 1 receiving for the season.
