Cole Welliver brings rare size and big-arm upside to New Mexico's QB room
In the 2024 season, Cole Welliver redshirted at Connecticut after appearing in one game and going 2-for-4 for 10 yards, but his profile is what jumps off the page: a 6'7" quarterback with a 50-touchdown senior year in high school and 4,457 career passing yards with just 7 interceptions. That combination of size, arm talent, and efficiency makes him an intriguing developmental fit for New Mexico, especially if your team values a high-ceiling passer who can grow into the job rather than a finished product.
