With the graduation of Wilton Speight and Devon Modster’s transfer to Cal, Kelly has been relying on sophomore Dorian Thompson-Robinson at the quarterback position.
A four-star prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, Thompson-Robinson was the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the 2018 class and committed to UCLA over Michigan.
