Freshman URI tackle Teddy Welch brings Kelce-sized frame and upside
Teddy Welch is a 2026 freshman offensive lineman for Rhode Island, listed at 6-foot-2, 285 pounds, with no available game-stat line yet as he begins his college career.[11][1] The appeal is the profile: a compact, college-ready interior OL build, a local South Florida recruit from American Heritage, and a player described by his favorite athlete as Jason Kelce—hinting at the kind of toughness and football IQ coaches love to mold.[11][13] He looks like a developmental fit for a team seeking a physical, inside presence with room to grow.
