“The competitive nature at UTRGV with the coaches and the players really enticed my decision,” Kelch said. “My experience at Pima has been nothing short of remarkable and I am so thankful for (Coach) Jacome and all the coaches and the development they have provided me with. I am excited for the future but will always be proud to be an Aztec.”
Kelch is returning to play for the Aztecs for the 2021 season.
