can claim something his former teammates at The Pennington School could never: he is a state champion.
Matching Simmons efforts, Kelsey was credited with 2 tackles in this game, both sacks, but also forced a key fumble. He finishes his junior season with 36 tackles (18 solo), 15 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, 1 forced fumble, and 1 fumble recovery.

has added to the embarrassment of riches in Glassboro. What Coach Breaker is getting in Kelsey is an edge defender who can gain the corner with speed. Not shabby in the run either, he can get hands on and win up top. Kelsey has two very good first steps out of his stance as well. Fundamentally sound, we see Kelsey get his long arms on men stepping down, as he steps and squeezes appropriately. With a sturdy base and strong upper body he sheds blocks well.

is a legitimate talent that needs more attention. A speedster off of the edge, Dorian can stay low and balanced as he collapses the pocket in on the quarterback. What really sets Dorian apart from other defenders is his rare combination of speed and strength. Dorian uses his strong upper body to drive blockers backwards while his hand skills allows him to shove and swim by as he heads for the backfield. A burst off of the line, Dorian times the ball perfectly and always has a step on the lineman.

is another example of a player that is ready to make a huge impact his sophomore season. Playing for the Pennington School as a defensive end, Dorian is a future sack artist. He rushes off of the edge with great speed and even has the ability to chase down ball carriers. A player that can straight up bull rush linemen and throw them around, he is a hungry defender that is set up to make some big plays in the near future.

represented for the class of 2026. Measuring in at 6’1″ 210lbs, Kelsey has a plus get off. Relative to others in his defensive line unit, he demonstrated a strong sense of body control, particularly in cone drills. In perspective, this is even more impressive given how young he is. Use of hands, as well as his agility, will improve with reps and age. Remember, Kelsey is a really young high school prospect. I am looking forward to tracking his progress over the next few seasons.
