Rutgers University Athletics

Kelley was a Third Team Walter Camp All-American in 1918 and was an honorable mention choice on the mythical Rutgers Athletic Roll of Honor by the Committee of Six. He scored 10 touchdowns in 1917, including four in one game. One of those scores was a six-year sneak through center in a tough, exciting 7-7 Neilson Field tie with West Virginia. He transferred to Yale in 1920 but returned in 1921 to become an assistant coach at Rutgers under George Foster Sanford.
