A versatile defender who made a big impact for one of the best programs across the country, Welch is a stout run defender from the secondary who closes quickly and has the ability to make a play on the ball in coverage. He’s a dependable defender with an impressive 6-foot-3 190-pound frame who should be even better next season as a senior. The fast-rising safety added recent offers from Coastal Carolina, Old Dominion, UCF, among others. His junior tape is outstanding and he has a chance to be one of Grayson’s top defenders once again in 2026.
