76 yards in Saturday's loss Welch logged 11 rushes for 67 yards and gathered in their only target for nine yards during Saturday's 24-21 defeat against Brigham Young.

Impact Welch led the Buffaloes' backfield Saturday, taking 11 carries for 67 yards. The next closest to him in terms of carries -- outside of quarterback Kaiden Salter -- was Dre'lon Miller, the receiver who the team is now using in the backfield. Miller scored two touchdowns Saturday and represents a threat to Welch if the team continues to play him in the backfield. Welch still has a solid role in the offense, but it's too early to tell how Miller will impact that.

Leads backfield in opener Welch notched 11 rushes for 64 yards and gathered in all three targets for nine yards during Friday's 27-20 defeat against Georgia Tech.

Impact Welch led the Buffaloes' backfield in touches and yards during Friday's opener with presumed starter Dallan Hayden (hand) out with an injury. Welch was fairly efficient with his 14 touches, gaining 73 total yards from scrimmage. It's unclear what Welch's workload will be when Hayden returns, but he appears at least to be the second option when everyone is healthy.

Ready to roll Welch (hamstring) is good to go for Colorado's clash with Kansas, Adam Munsterteiger of Buffstampede.com reports.

Impact Welch missed the past three games, but the freshman is set to make his return for the Buffaloes. The tailback has 24 carries for 121 yards and three touchdowns this fall.

Will be back this season Welch (hamstring) will be available again this season, Adam Munsterteiger of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Now, the question is when exactly Welch will be available again this season. In terms of regular-season action, Colorado's team has two games remaining, a Nov. 23 visit to Kansas and a Nov. 29 finale against Oklahoma State. If not either, the Buffaloes are locked for a bowl game or postseason action, so they could have him available after November.

Remains out Saturday Welch (hamstring) will miss Saturday's game versus Utah, Jake Schwanitz of DNVR Buffs reports.

Impact Welch hasn't appeared in a game since Week 8, leaving the Buffs down some depth in the backfield yet again. Dalan Hayden and Isiaha Augustave should handle most of the work in his absence.

NOVEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Texas Tech Welch (hamstring) will miss another game Saturday against Texas Tech, Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Welch will miss his second straight game. The true freshman tailback, who's been used in a rotational role this fall, has 24 carries for 121 yards and three touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Out vs. Bearcats Welch (hamstring) will not play in Saturday's game against Cincinnati, Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Welch was considered doubtful leading up to the game and will be forced to sit out this encounter. The freshman running back will aim to get back on the field for the road matchup against Texas Tech on Nov. 9 following the team's bye week.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected back Saturday Welch (undisclosed) is not expected to suit up during Saturday's game against Cincinatti, Nikki Edwards of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Welch, who suffered an undisclosed injury during last Saturday's win over Arizona, is unlikely to suit up against the Bearcats in Week 9. The 5-foot-9 freshman, who has logged 142 total yards and five touchdowns on 29 total touches this season, will have his next opportunity to return against Texas Tech on Nov. 9, if he is unable to suit up this weekend.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Won't return Saturday Welch won't return to Saturday's game against Arizona, Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera reports.

Impact Colorado will miss two offensive pieces for the rest of this game against the Wildcats, with tight end Sam Hart (undisclosed) also departing. It's unclear if Welch's injury is severe, and his next chance to play will come against Cincinnati next Saturday.

OCTOBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Overtime TD caps solid game Welch accrued nine rushes for 22 yards and two touchdowns and reeled in 1 of 2 targets for negative one yard during Saturday's 38-31 overtime victory versus Baylor.

Impact Welch was a dependable target in the red zone, and he drove the ball in when it counted in overtime.Due to Colorado's pass-happy offense, Welch's numbers aren't spectacular, but the freshman seems to have moved up the depth chart with Dallan Hayden (ankle) out and Charlie Offerdahl a no-show in the game.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Welch (undisclosed) is back practicing for Colorado, per a video he posted to his personal X account.

Impact The tailback now appears to be fully healthy after missing the Buffaloes' spring game. Welch may be a true freshman, but he's generating some serious buzz at Colorado's fall camp. A somewhat slept-on three-star recruit, Welsh should see the field this fall despite sharing a running back room with the likes of Dallan Hayden and Isaiah Augustave.
