OU football: Sooners linebacker Caleb Kelly announces season, career-ending injury after Baylor game

Caleb Kelly

Oklahoma linebacker Caleb Kelly's career came to a close after suffering an undisclosed season-ending injury against Baylor on Saturday. 

Kelly was helped off the field late in the third quarter and exited to the locker room in the Sooners' 27-14 loss against No. 13 Baylor. The former five-star recruit and team captain missed majority of the 2019 season and all of the 2020 season with seperate ACL tears.

The sixth-year senior finishes his OU career with 176 tackles with five sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception.

Kelly recorded a scoop-and-score in Oklahoma's 2017 Big 12 Championship win against TCU, forced a fumble that led to a touchdown against Georgia in the 2017 Rose Bowl loss, and scored another touchdown against then-No. 12 West Virginia in 2018 after a strip sack.
