Derrel Kelley III brings proven RB toughness and explosive past production to Tarleton State
Derrel Kelley III is a sturdy, experienced Tarleton State back who already proved he can carry a full workload: in the 2022 season he rushed for 1,039 yards and 8 touchdowns, and in 2024 he added 287 yards and 4 scores on just 63 carries, showing he can still pop when his number is called. He’s listed at 5'10", 195 pounds, giving him a compact build that fits inside running well, and his multi-year role suggests coaches trust his reliability and physicality. If a team wants a battle-tested, downhill runner with real production on his résumé, he’s worth a look.
