kuehlcodyUniversity of Jamestown head men’s soccer coach Tommy Nienhaus has announced the signing of Cody Kuehl of T.F. Riggs High School who will join the Jimmies in the 2015-2016 season.

Kuehl (Pierre, SD) played varsity soccer for three years in high school and junior varsity during his freshman year. During that time, he was awarded the title of All Eastern South Dakota and played on the All State 1st Team. He also made Academic All State and was part of the National Honor Society. Kuehl participated in the Dakota Alliance South Dakota United team as well where he was South Dakota ODP Player of the Year for 2012.

Coach Nienhaus says of Kuehl, “Cody plays at a very intense level and has a high motor which makes him a handful for defenders. He has some parts to his game that he needs to refine. That will comes with time. I expect Cody to be able to compete for minutes this fall.”

Kuehl plans to major in business. There were many factors that came into play which brought him to Jamestown and he said, “The thing that most caught my attention was how much chemistry the team had both on and off the pitch. Having seen a squad so close to one another almost made my choice a no-brainer.”

The University of Jamestown was established in 1883 and is ranked as a top regional school in both US News and World Report and The Princeton Review. The school features development of the whole person through its distinctive Journey to Success experience.
