He may be lost in Hebron now, but he made all those hometowns of his proud with his days at ISU.” “I always admired his move to Simpson, but I would have loved for him to stick around Ames and continue to be a great teammate. “Demographically and athletically, Matt and I were pretty similar, and as SWI dudes we watched out for each other and had a lot of fun,” Malloy said. Malloy and Kuhns share a lot of similarities, and, 32 seasons later, Malloy reflects fondly of his time spent with Kuhns donning the cardinal and gold and then Simpson’s shades of red and gold. Matt ended up playing some real defense in goal line situations that year, and nobody was happier for him than me.” In Matt’s case, it was to the outside linebackers room of Jon Fabris, who was tough as nails but gave a lot of guys their first real chance. “It’s like a waiver wire, and generally you don’t get pulled into another coach’s room unless he thinks you can play. “After being buried in the high-single-digits in the middle linebacker room for a couple of years, Matt got himself on to the field in some special teams situations and eventually scored what I think of as an “internal recruitment,” where one coach plucks you from another’s room,” Malloy said. Kuhns made his way from being a walk-on, to seeing playing time in special teams situations, to playing on the defense. That was a highly sought-after accolade for young guys, particularly walk-ons, and that Scout Team is where we got our chance to impress the coaching staff.” “To summarize, he was a tough guy who tried hard, and collected the Scout Team player of the week numerous times. “Kuhns could hold his own in the weight room, especially after a year or two of higher competition, but he also had what I think of as farm strength, the ability to use one’s body to move and manipulate others in unusual ways, that comes from having lifted idiotically heavy objects and thrown hay bales on a regular basis,” Malloy said.
