FORT WORTH, Texas -- TCU head football coach Gary Patterson has announced the hiring of Malcolm Kelly as outside receivers coach.
Longtime TCU assistant coach Rusty Burns, who has been with the program since 2009, will move into an offensive analyst role.
"While we're thrilled to welcome Malcolm to TCU, we're very excited to keep Rusty on our staff," Patterson said. "Coach Burns has been so valuable to us in our success through the years. He is a big part of the TCU family."
Kelly joins the Horned Frogs after spending the last two seasons at the University of Houston. He was a graduate assistant in 2017 before being elevated into an analyst position for the 2018 campaign. He began his path towards becoming a collegiate coach when he worked in a quality control role at Texas A&M-Commerce in 2016.
A two-time first-team All-Big 12 honoree and a 2005 Freshman All-American at Oklahoma, Kelly totaled 144 receptions for 2,285 yards and 21 touchdowns in just three seasons. When he left Norman, Kelly ranked second all-time at Oklahoma with his 21 touchdown catches and nine career 100-yard receiving games. He tied a school record with 11 receptions as a sophomore versus Texas Tech in 2006.
Kelly was selected in the second round of the 2008 NFL Draft by Washington and was with the Redskins for three seasons. He made 10 starts in 2009 and had 25 receptions for 347 yards. After concluding his NFL career, Kelly worked in private business before arriving at Texas A&M-Commerce.
A native of Longview, Texas, Kelly was a two-time first-team all-state selection at Longview High School.
Kelly is engaged to Alexis Gunn.
