Colorado State QB commit Darnell Kelly brings a polished dual-threat profile with proven production
Kelly is a **three-star 2026 quarterback** committed to Colorado State who has shown real dual-threat value, with a track record of big passing production and enough rushing ability to keep defenses honest. He’s been described by recruiting services as a **pocket passer** with strong functional athleticism, and his 2024 season at Peachtree Ridge included **2,521 passing yards, 28 passing touchdowns, and 463 rushing yards**, while his broader high school résumé includes more than **7,400 passing yards** and **83 passing TDs**. [1][3][10][11] His fit is strongest for a program that wants a composed, experienced QB who can extend plays and run an offense with balance rather than a pure statue pocket passer. [1][3][10][11]
