Jude Kelley thought he had made some great memories in his final season as a kicker for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga football team.
As it turns out, he’ll have another chance to make some more.
Kelley was recently granted an additional season of eligibility by the NCAA, solidifying the Mocs’ kicking situation for another fall and allowing the Atlanta-area native another year to represent UTC and play alongside his brother Gray, who handled kickoff duties for UTC as a redshirt freshman in 2025.
“Obviously we were close growing up, but even just in the last two years where we are now is pretty cool to see, going through all this every day with each other,” Jude said. “One more year, I’m sure, won’t hurt.”
The older Kelley has done a bit of everything in his UTC career.
