Scouting Report

Miles Kitselman went from a junior college player to a contributor at two different SEC schools. Originally a zero-star recruit, Kitselman played for one season at Hutchinson Community College before transferring to Alabama for two seasons. He hardly saw the field, but when he did, it was as an inline blocker in jumbo packages. Ahead of the 2024 season, Kitselman transferred to Tennessee, where he spent the next two seasons as their primary tight end and as a wing/fullback.

Kitselman's best quality is nastiness in the run game. He's not a dynamic receiver and is limited by tight hips. Tennessee used him all over the field, but when he was in the slot or out wide, it was as a stalk blocker more than as a real receiving threat. 2025 was his first season with drop issues, but it was also his first season with more than 30 targets in college. His best blocking performances came against his top competition, but there was a noticeable lack of effort against some lower-level opponents in 2025.

Rundown

Kitselman will be more useful for an NFL team than for a fantasy team, and his limitations as a receiver will keep him low on depth charts until he improves his route-running ability.
