The man is a rarity in college athletics as a two-time captain. The honor of leading our team is certainly appreciated and embraced by Jack. But in reality, the rest of us are the ones who truly feel honored and fortunate to have Jack’s guidance and words. His play is also outstanding, and the rest of the nation noticed last year as he was named First-Team All-Ivy and placed on the All-American Honorable Mention team. A four-year starter, Jack is providing his teammates so much support both emotionally and on the scoreboard, as he has the ability to take over games. He and his quick strike outlet passes are some of the primary reasons we have been able to increase the volume of transition offense...2015: USILA Honorable mention All-American...Unanimous First Team All-Ivy and All-New England selection...Led the Ivy League and ranked 11^th nationally in saves per game (11.53)...His save percentage of .554 led the Ivy League and ranked 14^th nationally...Named the NCAA Defensive Player of the Week, the Lacrosse Magazine Player of the Week and the Ivy League Player of the Week after coming up with 21 spectacular saves in Brown’s 15-6 win over #10 Cornell...Made 14 first half saves against the Big Red and held Cornell to just two second half goals, while making seven saves...Proved to be the difference in Brown’s 10-8 win over #9 Princeton with 15 saves...Had 15 saves in games against Quinnipiac, Penn and Dartmouth, while tuning aside 14 shots against Michigan... 2015 Team Captain...2014: Led the Ivy League with 11.21 saves per game, ninth best in the nation...Posted a save percentage of .547, ninth in the nation...Turned in impressive performances against Quinnipiac (18 saves), Hartford (16 saves), Hobart (10 saves), Marist (16 saves) and Princeton (16 saves)...Was was named the Ivy League Player of the Week following back-to-back 16 save performances against Marist and Princeton, including 12 second half saves against the Tigers...Picked-up 32 ground balls...2013: Named the Ivy League Rookie of the Week after making 15 saves in Brown's win over Harvard...Emerged as Brown's starting goalie, starting nine games in goal for the Bears...Made a season high 19 saves in Brown's overtime win over Dartmouth, including five in overtime...Posted a 9.30 goals against average, 4th best in the Ivy League...Secondary School Background: A graduate of West Islip High School where he lettered in lacrosse (5) and football (3)…Lacrosse- 2012 - Team Captain, MVP, All-American, 1st Team All-Long Island, #1 Ranked player in Suffolk County…2-time New York State Class A Champion (2010,2012)…2-time Long Island Champion (2010,2012)…3-time Suffolk County Champion (2010,2011,2012)… 65.5% save percentage for 2012…Football- 2nd Team All-Division (2010), 2011 1st Team All-Division, Team Captain, (2010,2011), Iron Man Award Winner….Personal: The son of Dennis and Megan Kelly…Has two brothers, Dylan and Danny…Enjoys fishing, boating, the beach, skiing, relaxing with friends, and watching sports…Economics concentrator.
