Kuhl is originally from Pasadena, Maryland and grew up playing rugby and football at Archbishop Spalding High School in Severn, Maryland, earning All-MIAA honors for each.[1] He went on to play for Salisbury University between 2010 and 2014 where he earned a bachelor's degree in Exercise Science, Allied Health Track, and was a three-time Collegiate All-American. During his time as an amateur rugby player, he represented Rocky Gorge RFC and captained the Washington, D.C. Capital Selects.[2]

On 16 May 2019, Kuhl was signed by Washington, D.C.-based Old Glory DC.[3] Intending to join Major League Rugby in 2020, Old Glory staged an exhibition campaign for May and June 2019. Kuhl started at full-back in DC's inaugural game against Ireland's Shannon RFC[4] on Sunday 19 May, playing as Old Glory's designated kicker and slotting two of three conversions and his one penalty opportunity. On May 27, Kuhl again started at full-back for Old Glory in a heavy 70-7 defeat at home to the Scotland U20s.[5] Kuhl played as Old Glory recorded their first victory in franchise history, running out 28-7 victors over the USA Rugby South Panthers, with Kuhl again providing points from the boot.[6] On 9 June 2018, Kuhl was named as vice-captain as Old Glory ran out 29-15 winners over the Ontario Blues in their final exhibition game of the 2019 season.[7]
