Ball-Hawking UNLV DB with Big-Game Instincts
Welch is a **playmaker in the secondary** whose value goes beyond tackles: in 2024 at Arizona State he totaled **13 tackles and 2 interceptions**, and UNLV credited him in 2025 with an interception and multiple impact games, including a week-8 Defensive Player of the Week nod after a big pick vs. Boise State.[1][10][8] At **6-foot-1** with strong speed and acceleration ratings, he profiles as an athletic, confident corner who can challenge throws and fit a defense that wants turnover creation, though his production has been more about flashes than long-term volume.[4][1]
