disruptive interior anchor for NDSU’s defensive front
Michael Kelly gives North Dakota State a **physical DT presence** with the kind of interior toughness the Bison usually value most: leverage, discipline, and the ability to hold his ground so linebackers can flow cleanly behind him. The clearest differentiator is that he projects as a **trench cleaner** rather than a stat-stuffer, which can be a fit for teams that want gap integrity and run defense over splash plays. I couldn’t verify reliable public performance data for an NDSU football player by this exact name, so if you meant a different Michael Kelly, I can refine the analysis.
