Rocklyn Kelley is the backup long snapper with starter potential at UCF
In the 2026 season, Rocklyn Kelley enters UCF as a redshirt freshman long snapper with a strong frame at 6-foot-1, 225 pounds and a special-teams background that includes work at Guyer High and discus on the track team. He did not see game action last season while backing up Dalton Riggs, but UCF special teams coordinator Pete Alamar said Kelley has “come along” and shown “a lot of improvement,” which signals real developmental upside. The catch: he still lacks college snaps, so his value is projection, consistency, and clean operation under pressure rather than box-score flash.
