Connor Kelly has been a winner throughout his lacrosse career. Kelly was a key cog in Maryland's 2017 national championship, the school's first in 42 seasons. Two years later, Kelly helped the Whipsnakes win the inaugural Premier Lacrosse League championships. Selected by the Waterdogs with their first pick in the PLL expansion draft, Kelly helped the Waterdogs win last year's PLL title.
Kelly is one of the best shooters in the game and very well could help fill the role that Ryan Brown played in helping the U.S. win the world championship in 2018. Kelly was a member of the U.S. training team leading up to that world championship and will be driven with this opportunity to go after another championship.
Kelly helped the 2019 U.S. box team to a bronze medal at the world championship.
