Omari Kelly, one of the top wide receivers in the 2022 class, will make a commitment next week.

Kelly, a 6-foot-1, 175-pound wideout from Hewitt Trussville, will announce his decision on Aug. 19.

“I’m ready,” Kelly said. “It’s between Auburn, Kentucky and Alabama.”

The Final 3

Kelly has visited each of his three finalists. He’s been to Alabama multiple times, visited Kentucky last weekend and made two trips to Auburn this summer.

“They all have the family environment,” Kelly said. “And I like what all three do on offense.”

Kelly hasn’t set a location or time for his announcement. The most important decision, however, already has been made.

“I have an idea of where I’m going,” Kelly said. “I feel really good about it.”

As a junior, Kelly had 39 receptions for 710 yards (18.2 avg.) and seven touchdowns.
