A little over a month after leaving Fayetteville, Cole Kelley has found himself a new college football home.
On his personal Twitter account over the weekend, Kelley announced that he will be transferring to Southeastern Louisiana to continue his collegiate playing career. As SLU plays at the FCS level, the Louisiana native will be eligible to play immediately in 2019.
I would like to announce that I will be going back home to Louisiana to play football for Southeastern Louisiana University. I am extremely excited for this opportunity and I can’t wait to begin the next chapter of my life back in this great state! Go Lions! #Chapter2 pic.twitter.com/qlCB5y83Iw

Kelley began the 2018 season as Arkansas’ starting quarterback. He started the first and third games of this past season — he threw four interceptions in the loss to North Texas in the latter game — then threw just 11 passes the remaining nine games of the year.
In 2017 as a redshirt freshman, Kelley started four games for the Razorbacks.
Interestingly, SLU will travel to OIe Miss Sept. 14 this coming season. In 2017, Kelley tossed three touchdown passes as the Razorbacks overcame a 28-point deficit to beat the Rebels 38-37 in Oxford.
