Born to be a Tiger: Greenville's Kelly has two Tiger athletes as parents

It’s almost like Aalijah Kelly was born to be a Clemson Tiger.

Kelly is a 2022 wide receiver out of Greenville (SC) who also happens to be the son of two Clemson athletes. His father is former Clemson football player Keith Yusef Kelly who was a standout running back in the early 2000s. His mother is Terri Robinson-Kelly, who had a long and storied career as a track athlete for the Tigers from 1997-2002.

Robinson-Kelly was a four-time All-ACC performer, a champion in the 4x100 as well as the team ACC Outdoor Champions. Her team still holds the Clemson record in the 4x200, still in the top 5 in the 55m (5th), 60m (3rd) and long jump (4th).
