About Nathaniel
Expert Analysis
Jonathan Davalos | Prep Redzone Scout
Nathaniel Kelly runs with a determined, no nonsense running style that will show up the most when he’s working between the tackles. He showed at Rize that he can make those short jump cuts fluidly and hit the hole with aggression and a forward lean. I anticipate Nathaniel being a reliable option in short yardage situations, a RB that can convert tough, tight window carries through effort and physicality.

Kelly is committed to St. John The Baptist High School, and is the only 2031 New York Prospect in attendance this weekend, and one of a few total out of the 155-Prospects. He is a smaller and younger prospect, but given the fact that he received an invite, I am curious to see how he stands up against the 2030 players at his position.

Nathaniel Kelly can flat out ball and he is a force on the gridiron. Kelly is coming out of the 2031 class and will have the chance to really make some big things happen once time for the “RIZE” event in New Jersey. Kelly is someone who can impact the game in a second and throughout at a consistent level. He is going to be one to follow within this 2031 class out of New Jersey without a single doubt. Look out for him during the “RIZE”!
