Background: Welch hails all the way from the West, in Niagara Falls. The 2028 Prospect is a name I have been watching improve consistently. He can play on both sides of the ball, and shows some versatility at LB. 

Measurables: Welch is a bit undersized for a RB/LB at the moment standing at 5’7″ 175-Pounds. He should reach the 185-Pound mark minimum to add more muscle, and fill out his frame. 

Evaluation: Welch is a strong runner, who can find the holes in the A or B gap, regardless of which side he lines up. He can run right into his line, which is something he should work on along with footwork, and slowing the play down behind the LOS. He has good strength, and can carry defenders for extra yards, always falling forward on his carries. He has a quick burst and solid speed, which sees him break through big gaps and take off on occasion. I want to see more from him from a footwork perspective moving forward, as he is a solid back ready to break free.

Welch separated himself from the rest on the field this day. When the Crusaders were unable to get their passing game going, they leaned on Nakhi who ran of over 100 yards and scored two of their 3 TDs in this game. He is a big physical runner that is tough to bring down.
