Following graduation, Kevin attended Butler University during the 1990 and 1991 seasons. He was Butler's leading tackler for two years and holds the Butler record for most solo tackles (21) in a game, and also for total tackles (29-solos and assists) in a game. He ranked #4 for season total tackles (150) after playing only two years. He was MVP on defense and was first team All-Conference on a Conference Championship team his sophomore year. After the 1991 season, Kevin walked on at Ball State University. He had to sit out the 1992 season. His efforts on the scout team, while sitting out, not only earned him a scholarship but also the 1992 Scout Team Player of the Year. He was Ball State's leading tackler the next two years. He owns Ball State's two highest single season tackle totals with 204 in 1993 and 196 in 1994. Both totals were tops in the MAC during those seasons. He set the Ball State record of 29 solo tackles in a single game his junior year. This accomplishment tied Jack Lambert's (Kent State and Pittsburgh Steeler Super Bowl Champion and NFL Hall of Fame Linebacker) record. The difference was, Kevin accomplished it, three times in one season. He was All-Conference two years and was caption his 1994 senior season. KJ's 1993 Ball State team was the Mid-American Conference Champion and played in the Las Vegas Bowl. During the 1993 Championship season, he was the Conference Defensive Player of the Week four times. He earned that honor three more times during his senior season in 1994. He was a National College Football All-Star Game participant in 1994. Common sense would tell one that these types of accomplishments were impossible for a linebacker that was 5'9" and 210lbs.
