Whatever Happened To Outcry's Greg Kelley?

May 2024 · 2 minute read

When he joined Eastern Michigan University (EMU), he was able to practice with the team, but did not play a single down that season. Now, heading to the University of Texas (UT), Kelley can focus on achieving something he has long dreamed of doing — hopefully playing D-1 collegiate athletics and earning a diploma. This is something he never wavered on achieving, even after spending six grueling years fighting for his freedom. His youth was essentially stolen from him, but he can still do something with his future. He also previously had full support from EMU leadership as well.

"Mr. Kelley is an exonerated man in the eyes of the law, and an eligible student-athlete in the eyes of the NCAA," said Scott Wetherbee, Eastern Michigan Athletic Director (via The Detroit News). "I encourage you to look into his background with the significant coverage that his story has generated, so you can get a full understanding of the case. As with any student-athlete, we would provide him with the same standards as every other student-athlete on campus. Eastern Michigan is not looking to become part of a story in which it does not belong, but rather to serve as the first chapter in the next facet of a young man's life. We look forward to helping Mr. Kelley succeed in his academics and on the playing field."

Kelley was pursuing a degree in exercise science at EMU (via EMU) and will presumably do so at UT.
