Tennessee senior tight end Miles Kitselman previews the Vols’ matchup at Ohio State in the 12-team College Football Playoff.

Tennessee senior tight end Miles Kitselman is playing for a College Football Playoff team in a second consecutive season with two different schools.

The 6-foot-5, 256-pound tight end transferred to Tennessee after playing at Alabama from 2022-23.

Kitselman met with media on Monday to kick off game week as the Vols prepare to play at Ohio State in the first round of the College Football Playoff.

He discussed the College Football Playoff having a 12-team format for the first time.

“I think it’s great,” he said of the new format. “With a four-team playoff, you saw a ton of teams that are very talented and don’t get an opportunity to be in the playoffs. You know a 12-team playoff, I think is great for college football. I’m just blessed that we have the opportunity to do it. Doesn’t really feel any different. It’s just another week you have to get ready to play a great game.”

Kitselman appeared in 12 games for the Vols during the 2024 regular season. He recorded 21 receptions for 296 yards and four touchdowns.
