My name is Brendan Kelly, I am a 17 year old junior attending Panther Creek High School in Cary, NC. In college, I hope to accomplish many things in golf and academics. I have very high standards for my golf game and know that I can keep improving as I have been. One of my aspirations is to be able to be able to perform well in golf at the college level and contribute to a teams success.
My focus to succeed academically aligns well with my goals to excel at golf whether in season or the off-season.

I believe I'm different from other recruits due to my approach to the game, my commitment and desire to focus on continual improvement. Overall, I love the game of golf, and to be able to play the game of golf at the college level, on a team of high level players would be an awesome experience that I cannot wait to become a part of.
