About Kelsey
Expert Analysis
Shayne Pickering | Prep Redzone Scout
Kelsey Rose Jr is an exciting second level defensive prospect with a strong frame and positional versatility that helps him be a menacing defensive chess piece in the front seven of a defense.
He spent his early high school career playing literally everywhere on the football field, but settled into more of a front seven role this season in addition to his receiver responsibilities.
Some programs, especially at the mid major level, are going to envision him as an edge rusher with a sturdy build that can work upfield to pressure quarterbacks, chase down ball carriers and cover the flat.
Other programs will want him as a versatile playmaker working through the traditional linebacker positions in their defense where he can man the middle of the defense and work in space to chase down ball carriers.
He has the ability and potential at both inside linebacker and edge with the production at both spots to complement. He will need some refinement and a creative defensive coordinator to maximize his skillset, but if he gets both of those things at the next level, a college program might uncover a hidden gem of a prospect.
