SEC Edge Rusher Eddie Kelly to Transfer to WVU

A productive pass rusher out of the SEC is going to be a Mountaineer. Missouri transfer edge Eddie Kelly announced his commitment to the WVU football program on Easter Sunday.

”Truly blessed and honored to announce that I am committed to West Virginia University,” said Kelly.

Kelly’s commitment comes only four days after WVU extended him an offer and on the heels of his official visit over the weekend. He also had Power Four offers from Kansas and Virginia Tech.

The 6-foot4, 278-pound Kelly recorded 20 tackles, two pass deflections and one sack in 13 games for the Tigers in 2024.

Before Missouri, Kelly also experienced a season in the ACC with Georgia Tech and even started his college career at South Florida. At Georgia Tech, he posted 37 tackles, two pass deflections and 0.5 sacks. He had 19 tackles as a true freshman for USF.

A three-star recruit out of high school, Kelly had notable offers from FAU, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Ole Miss and several others.
