100 Days to Football Time in Oklahoma: #51 Kasey Kelleher
Posted on: July 15, 2021
The Path to Norman
Kelleher went to long-snapping camps across the United States; the Ohio native spent time training all over. Although he committed to Toledo for a short period of time, he couldn’t turn down the opportunity for a preferred walk-on spot with the Sooners.
Career so Far
Kasey took a redshirt season in 2017. 2018 saw Kelleher take over the starting long snapper spot after the departure of Wesley Horky, playing in all 14 games. In the spring of 2019, Kasey was put on scholarship for OU.
Blessed! As of today I have been put on full scholarship at the University of Oklahoma. Can’t thank the people who helped me get here enough! A lot of hard work went into this and I’m proud to be a sooner! @OU_Football @LincolnRiley #boomersooner #oudna pic.twitter.com/MWObFkFgyP
