Leading up to this past football season, I broke down Oklahoma State’s 2020 recruiting class through a series of film studies. With the season officially in the books, I am going to start my analysis of the 2021 class. First up is the highest-rated player of the group, four-star defensive lineman Aden Kelley.
Kelley had offers from Iowa State, Nebraska, Northwestern, TCU and SMU to name a few, but decided to play defensive tackle next season for coach Jim Knowles. He isn’t one of the 12 incoming recruits set to enroll next week, but when Kelley gets to campus he will surely make his presence felt. The versatile lineman dominated Class A and is prepared to take his talents to the next level.
