Hunter Welcing News: Has eight targets in loss

Welcing had four receptions for 81 yards on eight targets in Saturday's 24-22 loss to Michigan at Wrigley Field.

Welcing has emerged as the top tight end in the passing game for the Wildcats this season with 20 receptions for 239 yards and two touchdowns. Although Northwestern's passing offense ranks just 118th nationally in yards per game, Welcing could be more of a factor the final two games as his role in the offense has grown with 18 targets over his last four games.
