E.J. Kelly's Stellar Season & Klein Bearcats' Rise Under Coach Codutti

Klein's football renaissance under new coach Nick Codutti produces nearly 70 points per game, with senior running back E.J. Kelly leading the resurgence. Over 600 yards in three games—including a 241-yard performance against Klein Cain—establish his candidacy among Houston's elite backs.

Rushing prowess and receiving versatility make Kelly a complete threat. SMU secured his commitment, adding a dynamic athlete as Klein pursues the 15-6A title behind their program turnaround.
