Kellett received First-Team All-Big 12 honors during both the 2021 and 2022 seasons. The Coppell, Texas native was named to the United Soccer Coaches All-Midwest Region First Team during the 2021 campaign, when she was also named the Big 12 Goalkeeper of the Year. Kellett finished her collegiate career with an .802 save percentage and a 41-14-10 win-loss-draw record. Kellett recorded 28 shutouts and logged 5,943 minutes as a Horned Frog.

The USL Super League is owned and operated by the United Soccer League and had planned to launch last year before being postponed to this year.
