- Outside Receivers Coach | 2nd Season
Malcolm Kelly joined the TCU football staff as outside receivers coach in March 2019 and was promoted by Head Coach Sonny Dykes to assistant head coach in 2022.
Kelly has coached two first-round NFL Draft picks in the last five seasons with Quentin Johnston taken by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2023 and Jalen Reagor by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2020.
Johnston was TCU's Offensive Most Valuable Player in its 2022 College Football Playoff Semifinal win over Michigan, totaling six receptions for 163 yards with a 76-yard touchdown. He had team-best totals of 60 receptions, 1,069 yards and six touchdowns on the season. Johnston became TCU's first 1,000-yard receiver since Reagor (1,061) in 2018. Johnston's career 19.0 yards per catch average ranks first in TCU history for players with at least 100 receptions.
Johnston earned All-America honors in 2022, was a Biletnikoff Award Semifinalist and repeated as a First-Team All-Big 12 selection. Reagor was also a two-time All-Big 12 recipient.
The 2023 campaign saw Kelly coach Savion Williams into a career-best season that saw him earn All-Big 12 accolades along with Jaylon Robinson.
Kelly came to the Horned Frogs after spending the previous 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. They have a daughter, Phoenix.
