KJK #45 highlights 
junior year highl...Kailin Kelley 2023Personal Statement
My goal is to take my football talents to the next level. I have always been one of the top players because I was willing to put in the extra so I know I am capable. I have been playing organized tackle football since 3rd grade and attending camps since I was in 2nd grade. I love "The Grind" of preparing for the games and playing in the games. I am a -year starter for our Varsity team. I start on both offense (at Running Back) and Defense (at Middle Linebacker). I was an All-Conference honorable mention as a sophomore in 2021-2022. My team and I went 13-0 and was the 2021 8-man Colorado State Champions.
This 2022-2023 season as a Junior, I was All-Conference, Honorable Mention All-State and also, named Junior Football player of the year by Colorado Preps. My golas moving forward are to finish my senior season with All Conference and All State selections. As a senior I was named Defensive player of the year by Colorado Preps. I finished 4th overall in tackles in Colorado 6,8 and 9 man with 149, I want to be the most dominant LB in 2023-2024. Lastly, I plan to go to college, get a great education and play football so I can continue the grind and get better everyday in the game I love.
My 2023-2024 Season ended with a 11-2 record and a Runner-up finish in the State Championship. Over the last three seasons I was part of a 35-3 record, two State Championship appearances and two League Championship's. I hope my hard work has prepared me for success at the next level. I have been extremely blessed and thankful for everyone that has taken the time to help me achieve all of my successes.
