Professional career[edit]
In 2009, Kahoe initially elected not to declare for the Major League Lacrosse draft while waiting an appeal for an NCAA Hardship waiver, which would allow him an additional year to play football for the Syracuse University team, while completing his last year of a master's degree.[4] However, in the fall of 2009, the NCAA Hardship waiver was denied due to NCAA time clock eligibility rules. Kahoe, then declared for the National Lacrosse League draft, where he was selected by the Boston Blazers with the 33rd overall pick.[5] Soon after, the Boston Cannons of the Major League Lacrosse acquired Kahoe's rights for the 2010 season. Kahoe was also extended an open try-out with the NFL's Miami Dolphins and after being released, was signed by the Florida Tuskers, owned by Joe Theismann and led by head coach Jay Gruden of the United Football League for the 2010 season.
