Early years edit
Kuehl attended Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda, Maryland, where he was a prep All-American selection as a senior. One of Kuehl's notable high school achievements was scoring the Vikings' only playoff touchdown in nearly 20 years on a late game scoring strike from quarterback Andy Eichberg in the 1988 MD state playoff loss to the Randallstown Rams. It was the Vikings' only score that day.[1]
Kuehl was a four-year letterman at the University of Virginia and was named second-team All-ACC at defensive tackle (1994).[2]
