Kellen Mond put up a spectacular third quarter, passing for 141 yards and a pair of touchdowns, and was named MVP of Saturday’s Reese’s Senior Bowl at Mobile’s Hancock Whitney Stadium.
Mond, playing only the first and third quarters on the day, shook off a rusty beginning to the afternoon and pulled his American squad back from a 13-0 deficit to take the lead late in the third quarter. The National team would win the game, 27-24.
“It was a great feeling whether it was a simple drop back or making an insane play,” Mond said. “Everything was kind of rolling my way. Obviously, kind of shaky at the beginning but it definitely shows a lot of poise to be able to bounce back.”
His touchdown passes were 15 yards to Clemson’s Amari Rodgers and 14 yards to Tennessee’s Josh Palmer. Mond even converted a pair of two-point plays–one with a run and the other with a pass. He would throw for 173 yards on the day.
Up next for Mond is Pro Day on the Texas A&M campus later this spring, and the NFL Draft sitting on deck and scheduled for April 29-May 1.
