Fox 40 Prospect Challenge (West Coast): ATH Kelly looking for new ways to push his body

“My goals for the CFCFPC is the first and foremost give my 100% best for the teem. I also want to learn from their coaches so that I can better my football skills,” says Dion Kelly.

Kelly, who currently plays for GW Graham, has been playing football for eight years now. He started with Abbotsford middle and high school, and the Abbotsford Falcons. He has won the RB Award for the Falcons, Best DL at Abby middle school, and the Grizzly Tough award for GW Graham.

Playing multiple positions, Kelly says that he loves playing football because he loves to compete at a high level. It challenges him physically and mentally and he states that he love to build bonds with his teammates.

He goes on to say, “One of the best experiences  has been playing for GW Graham this season I was new to their team this season and I was welcome with open arms. They play Grizzly Tuff football like a family of Brothers which was a great experience for me and it showed in the way we all played together as  teem.”

During the off-season, Dion trains at the gym daily and eats healthy.

“I’m always looking for new ways to push my body to become bigger faster stronger I take part in football camps and I get training from other Professionals football players like Solomon Elimimian and Emmanuel Arceneaux from the BC Lions and I play other sports in my offseason like soccer and Lacrosse and this season rugby,” he says.

And with the carrot of the CFC100 top prospects list in front of him as he graduates in 2018, Kelly says that it is a goal of his to make that list. He will look to Ray Lewis for additional motivation.

“My football Idol is Ray Lewis because I love his intensity and passion for the game and that he is 100% when is on and off the field for the game and how we can motivate his teammates to push to their best of their ability,” he says.

“I love playing football and I will do anything and everything in my power to keep playing this amazing game.”
