🐍#FAMUSJGC Grad Spotlight: More than a standout golfer, Spring 2026 graduate Ethan Kelly became a champion for faith, community, and creative purpose during his time at FAMU.

When the COVID-19 aftermath and shifting NCAA rules forced him to defer his original scholarship offers, Ethan leaned on his faith — and kept competing. That perseverance opened the door to the HBCU golf community, where coaches recognized his talent and heart.

🏆Their support led him to Florida A&M University, where he became a member of the PGA WORKS and SWAC Championship Rattler golf team.
But golf was only part of his story.

At FAMU SJGC, Ethan rediscovered his early love for visual communication and design, finding a creative home in the Graphic Communication Division.

Surrounded by a tight‑knit community of classmates and professors, he strengthened his artistic voice, built new skills, and found support during personal loss.

That encouragement helped him merge his passions. As a creative intern with @FAMUAthletics, Ethan produced cinematic visuals and storytelling content that highlighted Rattler student‑athletes — including his own teammates.

⛳️Now, Ethan is preparing for a future that blends professional golf, creative design, and leadership. He plans to compete at the highest levels while using his graphic, visual, and communications skills to elevate HBCU athletes and expand representation in the sport.

Read how Ethan’s faith, resilience, and community helped him design a path that’s uniquely his — and why he’s leaving “The Hill” ready to compete, create, and lead.
