Montez Kelley brings pressure and versatility off Appalachian State’s edge
Kelley looks like a useful rotational **defensive end** for Appalachian State, with production that has steadily translated into tackles, sacks, and quarterback pressure. In 2024, he played all 11 games, logged 30 tackles and a sack, and followed a 2023 season that included 20 tackles, 3 tackles for loss, 2 sacks, a fumble recovery, and 16 quarterback pressures per PFF. His differentiator is versatility: he has lined up at both defensive end and defensive tackle, giving a staff schematic flexibility and a player who fits hard-nosed, disruptive fronts.[3]
