Baylor’s sturdy, special-teams-first linebacker with upside
Corey Kelly enters the 2026 season as a 6-foot-3, 249-pound Baylor linebacker who has built value as a tough reserve and special-teams contributor, appearing in seven games in 2025 after logging 11 games and five tackles in 2024. The selling points are size, length, and a solid recruiting pedigree—he was ranked No. 7 among edge defenders in Texas as a high school prospect—but he’s still chasing a bigger defensive role. If your team wants a physical, developmental linebacker with depth value and special-teams juice, he’s a sensible fit.
