ND site seems to think he's coming to UC. Not sure whether he'd make much of an impact here, though.

Welch is a talented kid. Probably shouldn't have gone to ND out of HS, but his family have always been big ND people as well as UC fans. I see his uncle at a lot of UC games. I think he could come in and at least be a factor at the TE position. It's unfortunate he doesnt play at more of a need position because UC has some nice talent there already on the roster.

I haven't double-checked their status, but I read that Hendrix, Collinsworth and Massa would also be 5th year seniors at ND and obviously from this area as well. I have no idea if there would be interest on either side but fwiw I do recall reading that Golic was very happy with the initial transition to UC even though his injuries put the kibosh on it before it really got started.

On the other hand, with the hiring of Martin today, Miami might make a LOT of sense for several of them IF they are eligible and looking to transfer for that 5th year to get playing time. Although one hurdle might be finding a grad program fit at Miami.

Heard from Hendrix's family he's going to Miami, that was before they hired Martin. Not sure if they new he was hiring or not but I'm sure he will still be going. Will be a good Jordan Lynch type player in the MAC. Welch is likely coming to UC has family who attend UC and could live at home and walk on if a scholly isn't available. Could use depth at te and can play special teams.
