Nevada freshman Dominic Kelley flashes burst, but is still a developmental RB
In the 2025 season, Dominic Kelley showed early-play upside for Nevada with 54 rushing yards and a touchdown on 23 carries, plus kick-return work, but his role was still small and the production was modest. The appeal is his compact 5'10", 202-pound frame and explosive athletic profile—EA’s 2026 ratings list him at 85 speed and 88 acceleration—while Nevada’s roster bio notes he scored his first college TD and produced his first first-down carry in limited action. He looks like a good fit for a team willing to invest in a quick, physical back with upside, rather than a finished product.[1][3][14]
