Austin Welch brings reliable leg strength and a proven transfer-track record to Oklahoma's kicker battle
In the 2024 season at Kennesaw State, Austin Welch went 14-of-18 on field goals and 20-of-21 on extra points, with a long of 49 yards, showing he can handle both steady volume and the occasional long-range ask. His best trait is consistency inside 40 yards, plus enough kickoff pop to matter in field position; the main question is whether he can sharpen the 40- to 49-yard range. For Oklahoma, he looks like a sensible, ready-made special teams fit who should stabilize the unit if the camp competition breaks his way.
