One Kentucky Wildcats football target in the Class of 2022 announced his commitment on Thursday afternoon, as Trussville (AL) native chose to stay close to home and play for the Auburn Tigers.
Kelly announced his commitment on Twitter. He chose the Tigers over a final list that included Kentucky and Alabama.
Kelly is listed as an athlete, but should play receiver in college. He is currently a 4-star recruit via 247 Sports Composite, as well as a top-20 athlete in the country.
With Bryan Harsin picking up his second big commitment of the day for the Tigers, Mark Stoops and his staff will now continue to turn their focus on their top skill target in the class, Lexington’s own Dane Key.
