Tennessee tight end Miles Kitselman announced Monday that he will return for a second senior season with the Volunteers.
Kitselman’s extra of year of eligibility came about last week when the NCAA Division I Board of Directors approved a waiver that extends eligibility in 2025-26 to athletes who previously competed in junior college for one or more years and otherwise would have exhausted their NCAA eligibility following the 2024-25 season.
The 6-foot-5, 256-pounder from Lyndon, Kansas, began his college journey at Hutchinson (Kansas) Community College in 2021 before spending the 2022 and 2023 seasons at Alabama. This season with the Vols, Kitselman amassed 22 receptions for 301 yards and four touchdowns.
He also had a 1-yard rushing touchdown during the 31-17 loss at Georgia.
Kitselman’s four receiving scores tied for fourth-most among Southeastern Conference tight ends, and his five total touchdowns tied for third-most in the league at his position. Including his time at Alabama, Kitselman has played in 32 major college games with 13 starts.
