Kelsey has etched his name in the men's basketball annals, playing more minutes (3,861) and averaging more minutes-per-game (33.6) than any other Norse in program history. Kelsey netted 1,595 points during that time, ranking seventh all-time in the Norse annals. His 285 made threes rank third all-time and his 81.3 percent free-throw percentage is 10th-best. However, Kelsey's most notable record is a 50-point performance against Indianapolis on Jan. 2, 2004.  He earned Great Lakes all-region second team and All-GLVC second team as a junior and honorable mention as a sophomore and senior. Kelsey was a standout in the classroom as well, garnering academic All-GLVC honors four times and was twice tabbed as the men's basketball GLVC Scholar-Athlete of the Year.
