Welch would appear to be the projected starter after averaging 4.3 yards per carry during his true freshman season. Hayden was used as the Buffs’ pass-catching back last year, racking up 17 receptions for 132 yards. The former Ohio State back should play a role this upcoming season, regardless of who comes into the program.
