Luke Kuechly's star continues to grow, even five years after he last played a down of football.

On Monday, CBS Sports announced that the Carolina Panthers great will join their college football coverage as an analyst for the upcoming 2024 season. Kuechly will call select games for the network this fall.

Analysis is nothing new to the former NFL Defensive Player of Year, five-time First-Team All-Pro and seven-time Pro Bowler—as he made a Hall of Fame career out of mastering film. He's also made a career of it off the field, serving as one of the Panthers' radio analysts over the past few years.

Kuechly's last venture into the collegiate game was a dominant one. The Boston College legend and former unanimous All-American racked up an obscene amount of accolades prior to entering the NFL—including 2011's ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award, Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Lott Trophy, Lombardi Award, Butkus Award and Jack Lambert Trophy.

He'd then be selected with the ninth overall pick by the Panthers in 2012—and the rest, of course, is history.

Oh, and don't worry Panthers fans—you'll still have yourselves some LUUUUUUKE. According to Joe Person of The Athletic, Kuechly will remain in the rotation for the team's radio booth this season.
