Chad Kelly brings early-career tackling upside to Baylor’s linebacker room
Kelly is an active, developing Baylor linebacker who has already shown he can find the ball, recording 11 solo tackles in his current profile and posting a career-high tackle outing in Baylor’s early-season action. At 6-1, he offers a compact linebacker frame and has produced steady, if still modest, game-to-game production rather than splashy stats. The key reason to care is his trajectory: he looks like a dependable depth piece with room to grow into a tougher, more disruptive defender if he keeps sharpening his play recognition and consistency.
