Albany State football players have a special lunch

ALBANY, GA (WALB) – Albany State University football players are known for their toughness, but on Friday they showed a softer side. Nearly a dozen players and coaches visited Albany's Palmyra nursing home for a cookout with the residents.

They enjoyed hot dogs and hamburgers and some good fellowship. It was a chance for the players to give back to some loyal fans. Mike White, the Albany State Football coach said, "it definitely makes us feel good also to come over and do that."

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.
