Duke coach David Cutcliffe said in a statement:
“It’s difficult to put into words the feeling of heartbreak I have for Kelby and his family.”
“While we will certainly miss his athletic abilities and leadership as one of the best linebackers to play at Duke, what is most important above all else is Kelby’s health. He is a truly special young man who is destined to accomplish great things in his life. Kelby’s strengths lie in his core values, and I know that despite this setback, he will continue to play an integral part of our program’s success both on and off the field.”
Brown has had to deal with ACL injuries since he arrived on campus. Earlier in his career, Brown tore his right ACL twice, in 2010 and 2012.

He ranked second in the ACC in tackles per game (8.77).
