Kinley has spent all of his playing career at MTSU, even though he had entered the portal before last season he opted to return back to MTSU to play under a new head coach. Injuries have also been an issue for Kinley in the past. However, he played in 9 games in 2023 and looks to be trending upwards.
Kinley had 20 overall tackles, 6.5 tackles for loss, 3 sacks, 3 pass deflections, and a fumble recovery last season in 2023. He should be a soild addition to what is already a deep defense in 2024.
