Alva E. Kelley (June 16, 1918 – August 21, 1999) was an American college football player and coach.
Kelley graduated from Cornell University in 1941 after playing three seasons of football under Carl Snavely and fellow fraternity brother George K. James, including the 1939 undefeated national championship season.
He was a member of Sphinx Head, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, and through the latter organization, the Irving Literary Society.
Kelley was the 27th head football coach at Colgate University, serving for three seasons, from 1959 to 1961, and compiling a record of 9–18.
One of his great-grandchildren, Will Levis, currently plays football for the Tennessee Titans of the NFL[1] after spending the 2021 and 2022 seasons at the University of Kentucky as their starting quarterback.
