Transfer Welton tapped as Albany State's No. 1 RB

Robert Welton, who transferred to Albany State from Appalachain State this offseason, will be the No. 1 RB heading into the Rams' first game next week.

ALBANY, GA — The Gold Rush is officially back. Only this season, it looks a bit different. Transfer Robert Welton has emerged as the probable starting running back for the Albany State football team, but he’ll be part of a four-man tandem — along with Kareem Hess, LiRonnie Davis and Darryl Carey — hoping to make an impact for the Rams this season.

“I think we’ll have a great running game,” said Welton, who transferred to ASU from Appalachian State during the offseason. “All four of us bring something different to the table. I’ve got my inside-outside game ... LiRonnie’s the power back, and Kareem is the finesse back. And we have Carey, who can do it all, too.” It’s a change of pace from past seasons, when the team primarily relied on one player to do most of the work.
