🚨 DFA ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

The Developmental Football Association has named Durham Welch as Director of Football Operations and Recruiting Coordinator.

Welch comes from Hamline University, where he currently serves as Co-Special Teams Coordinator and Kicker/Punters Coach. As a player, he was a 2x Special Teams Player of the Year, led the MIAC in field goal percentage, and holds the conference record for longest field goal.

This move helps create a direct bridge between the MIAC and the DFA—connecting college-level talent, evaluation, and experience into the league’s player pipeline.

In this role, Welch will oversee player evaluation, recruiting, and roster alignment across the DFA.

The focus:
✔ More consistent player evaluation
✔ Stronger roster construction
✔ Higher level of competition

This directly impacts every player entering the DFA system.
