After a weekend official visit to Baylor, three-star League City (Texas) Clear Falls linebacker Corey Kelly has committed to the Bears, he announced Tuesday night.

Kelly is the No. 478 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 45 linebacker and the No. 84 player in the state of Texas.

The 6-foot-2, 202-pounder chose Baylor over offers from SMU, Mississippi State, North Texas, Minnesota and Indiana. He becomes the Bears’ 13th commitment in the 2023 cycle, joining a group headlined by four-stars Austin Novosad and Christian Braithwaite.

With his pledge, Baylor sneaks inside the top 25 of the On3 Consensus Team Recruiting Rankings with the No. 24 class nationally.

As junior last fall, Corey Kelly was Texas 24-6A unanimous first-team all-district selection. He totaled 97 tackles, including 16 TFLs, as well four sacks and 11 pass breakups.
