Andrew Kelly '28 Recruiting Profile

Football has always been more than just a game to me—it’s a proving ground, a place where I can push myself beyond my limits and show the work I’ve put in. I’m Andrew Kelly, a 6’2”, 200-pound outside linebacker and defensive end from Caravel Academy College Preparatory in Bear, Delaware, and I take pride in my relentless work ethic both on and off the field.

This past season, I was part of a state championship-winning team, but I faced a tough challenge when I fractured my right hip, causing me to miss half the season. While I didn’t get the chance to showcase my abilities as much as I wanted, the setback only fueled my hunger to come back stronger. Now, I’m more motivated than ever, training hard this offseason to elevate my game. I know that success isn’t just about talent—it’s about resilience, discipline, and a willingness to outwork the competition.

In the classroom, I maintain a 3.3 GPA, and I’m always looking to improve. I take my education seriously because I know that football is just one piece of the bigger picture. My goal is to attend a top-tier university where I can thrive both academically and athletically.

I’m eager to compete at the highest level, and I’m actively seeking opportunities to showcase my skills at camps and visits. I want to build relationships with coaches, learn from the best, and prove that I have what it takes to play at the next level. Football has given me a sense of purpose, and I’m ready to do whatever it takes to keep pushing forward.
