Daemar Kelly's path to Northern Illinois runs through some of western Pennsylvania's most celebrated basketball. The Penn Hills native scored 1,000 career points at Waterford Mott — helping Penn Hills win the 2023 Class 5A WPIAL championship — before beginning his college career at Quinnipiac, where the Bobcats captured the MAAC regular-season title. He then transferred to Saint Francis, averaging 8.3 points and 3.3 rebounds per game in 2024-25, before the school's announced move to Division III sent him back to the portal. Kelly brings experience and toughness to an NIU backcourt that relies on him for 5.0 points and 3.0 rebounds per game across 24 appearances.
