<p>“I think it’s pretty cool that I can be in the first freshman class,” he said. While he hasn’t decided on a career yet, he is planning on something in the medical field.</p>
<p>Kelley was an athlete throughout his high school career. In baseball, he played as a catcher and first baseman. In track, he threw the shot put and discus. During his senior year, he focused on playing on the offensive line of his school’s football team.</p>
<p>He hasn’t decided yet about going out for UHV athletics. For the time being, he’s focused on getting everything ready for classes.</p>
<p>When not in class, Kelley enjoys riding his dirt bike on the beach or though muddy terrain. He also sometimes goes mudding in pickup trucks.</p>
