Former UConn quarterback Cole Welliver has committed to New Mexico, he announced on social media Wednesday.
The 6-foot-7 native of Flower Mound, Texas played in just one game for the Huskies, completing 2 of 4 passes for 10 yards in UConnβs 63-17 win over Merrimack on Sep. 9.Β He still has four years of eligibility remaining.
Welliver played in high school for legendary Dallas Cowboys tight end Jason Witten, helping lead Liberty Christian High to a 14-0 record as a senior in 2023. He was named First Team All-State and District MVP, and was ranked as a three-star prospect by 247 Sports.
Heβll work alongside another person with Connecticut connections, former Staples High (Westport) head coach Adam Behrends, who took a job as an offensive analyst at New Mexico in February. Behrends won a state title with Staples in 2023.
