Following the season, on April 2, 2019, it was announced that Kuhn had transferred to Pennsylvania State University and would represent the Penn State Nittany Lions from the 2019 season.[5] The move to the Nittany Lions reunited him with Jeff Cook, his coach while training with the Philadelphia Union academy.[5] He made his Penn State debut on August 30, 2019, starting in a 0–5 defeat against Stanford Cardinal.[6] On September 13, 2019, Kuhn scored his first college goal against the Villanova Wildcats in a 1–0 victory.[7] Throughout his career at Penn State, Kuhn played in 53 matches, scoring 8 goals.[8]
