Cal U’s Miles, Kush honored

For the Mon Valley Independent

Former Cal U standouts Rontez Miles and Eric Kush were both selected to the D2Football.com All-Decade Teams for 2010-19 Tuesday.

Miles was a first-team selection at defensive back and Kush was a second-team honoree at offensive line. The Vulcans were one of three teams from the PSAC to have at least one representative on the All-Decade Teams with Miles being the league’s only first-team defensive representative.

Both were members of the Class of 2012.

One of the most decorated players in program history, Miles was a four-year starting defensive back from 2009-12 and was a two-time D2Football.com All-American. He finished his career with 257 tackles after making at least 50 stops in each of his four seasons, plus registered 10 interceptions and 23.5 TFL over 50 career games. 

Miles was chosen the 2009 PSAC West Freshman of the Year before being selected the PSAC West Defensive Athlete of the Year as both a junior and senior. The Woodland Hills product received All-America status nine times over his last two seasons while combining for nearly 150 tackles and nine interceptions in that span. Miles earned a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies and a minor in justice studies from Cal U in 2012.
