Drew Kelly serves as a videographer at the University of South Florida, leading creative video coverage for USF softball, track and field, women’s soccer, and men’s and women’s tennis while contributing as a secondary shooter across the broader Bulls athletics program.
Since joining USF full time in 2025, Kelly has brought a strong work ethic and enthusiasm to his craft, shooting and editing content ranging from rapid-turn social videos to long-form features. He also directs media day productions, including intro videos, marketing reads and promotional GIFs. With more than 100 videos produced and more than 1.5 million views generated across his career, he has built a reputation as a leader among his peers by training, mentoring and overseeing South Florida’s video interns while helping elevate video coverage across all sports.
Kelly joined the Bulls full time after completing a two-year creative video internship with USF Athletics, where he supported digital and creative operations across football, basketball, baseball, softball and tennis. During that time, he also worked with the NCAA in April 2023, producing real-time goal highlight edits and a hype video for Quinnipiac during the Men’s Frozen Four.
Before his full-time role, Kelly interned with Florida State University Athletics, providing digital support for football, softball, women’s basketball and volleyball. He also traveled with the volleyball team to the NCAA Tournament, producing multiple videos over a four-day span.
A Tampa-area native, Kelly earned a Bachelor of Arts in mass communication from the University of South Florida in 2024.
