Kuhn, who holds 26 school records, will officially conclude his career on January 7, 2005 when he and senior defensive end Ryan Hoffman (Phoenixville, Pa./St. Pius X) play in the 2005 Whataburger Cactus Bowl in Kingsville, Texas.

Shippensburg finished the season with a 10-2 record this year, advancing to the second round of the 2004 NCAA Division II Football Championship.
