“My time at Boston College has been nothing short of amazing,” said Kelley III in his announcement post. “Over the past few years, I’ve grown not only as an athlete, but as a man— and that’s thanks to the incredible people I’ve been surrounded by.
To my coaches, teammates, professors, and friends: thank you. You’ve made this experience one of a kind, and I’ll forever be grateful for your belief in me, your support, and the memories we’ve built together.”

As a prospect, The Phelps School product was a three-star recruit from the class of 2022 that ranked No. 239 nationally, No. 37 in shooting guards, and No. 7 in the state of Texas, according to 247Sports Composite. The outlet had him unranked as a transfer prospect.
“The relationships I’ve formed here at BC are ones I truly cherish,” said Kelley III. “This community has shaped me in ways I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. With that said, after much prayer and reflection, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal as a graduate transfer,” said Kelley III. “It’s bittersweet for this chapter to come to a close, but I trust fully in the Lord’s plan for my life. Though the journey here is ending, I know He’s guiding me to where I’m meant to be next. Thank you, BC.”
