Brayden Kelly : Watchung Hills High School Football: 2025 WR/DB is a 3 Star on BOTH sides of the Football !!

Brayden Kelly, a 2025 at Watchung Hills High School in New Jersey was recently recognized by NUC Sports as a 3 Star player.  He has firmly established himself as a legit player on both sides of the ball during his senior year campaign and continues to make the most of his opportunities.

Kelly had a tremendous season dominating his competition on both offense and defense. He is a natural athlete that can line up all over the field and make a difference.  Offensively, he can play WR from both the outside and the slot.  You can tell he works on his craft, as he possesses top notch foot work and can run the entire route tree.  

He plays physical and has excellent ball skills.  The single intangible that separates the good from the next level is their ability to attack the football, Brayden does this whether it’s catching a pass or intercepting the ball and he does so on every rep, he’s willing to go after the rock!  He has good speed and agility and plays faster when the lights are on.  He possesses not only breakaway ability but straight on speed allowing him to run by defenders or use his aggressive attack the ball mentality to his benefit.

Brayden showcased throughout the season his ability to change direction and athleticism.  He has great quickness and tremendous lateral movement.  He possesses an innate skill and smoothness in his ability to change direction.

The 2025 prospect immediately makes it known that he is there to prove he belongs by playing aggressively.  His releases and speed off the line give him the ability to get in and out of breaks as a WR and make plays on the ball from both the outside and inside WR positions.  He displays excellent body control and strong hands catching passes and attacking the football.  His physical abilities, hands down separate himself from other players coming in with a WIN at all cost mindset.  He uses his shiftiness to keep hands off of him at the line of scrimmage, showing he can win at the line of scrimmage and beat opponents.

This guy will bring a big time competitive edge to whatever squad he plays for.  His ability to line up and play multiple positions gives him the opportunity to see more reps and more plays.  I look for this guy to be a big time leader and represent the Culture of the team he plays for.
