Kyle Visser (born October 19, 1985) was a center on the Wake Forest men's basketball team from 2003-04 to 2006-07. He was considered by ESPN to be the nation's most improved college basketball player after having scored 466 points during his senior season, which was more than his previous three seasons combined. Visser ranked seventh in the ACC in scoring at 17.3 ppg, and ranked second in the league in field goal shooting percentage (.593). He was the only player in the entire conference to rank in the top ten in scoring, rebounding, field goal percentage, and blocks.

On November 11, 2006, he set a school record for field goal percentage in a single game (1.000) by shooting a perfect 10-for-10 against James Madison University. Visser also ranks seventh in school history with 113 career blocks. His senior season he scored 20 points nine times to go along with six double-doubles.[1] Despite not reaching the NBA right out of college, Visser recently signed a nine month contract with a professional German basketball team, the New Yorker Phantoms.[2]
