After graduation, Kyle had the opportunity to continue his football career as a collegiate athlete and played football at D-II Notre Dame College in Ohio.

While at Wittenberg, Kyle helped his team win back-to-back NCAC conference championships. Following his senior season, Kyle represented Wittenberg on the All-NCAC team and was named to the Capital One Academic All-American team.

Kyle got into coaching once his playing career was finished.
