Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Catching my eye with multiple caused turnovers over the summer, Kelly made plays both on and off the ball. He is not the biggest defender out there, but he is strong, stocky, and has the feet to play with a shortstick, too. As a lefty, he plays topside well against righties and sends them home with a couple of bruises because of the constant slaps to the hands and arms.
With a lower center of gravity and a hard crosscheck, his strength gives him some extra push to steer dodgers out of the hub. His IQ shows up off the ball in the way he knows when to jump on hands as a slider and when to get his stick up in the passing lanes. At the New Balance Games, I appreciated that he was one of the loudest defenders on the field. If he can keep improving his stick, Kelly has the physicality, feet, and IQ to be a really effective defender.
