Draft Profile: Bio
Julius Welschof from Germany High School was rated a 3-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 4-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Welschof joined Michigan after being heavily recruited.

In 2020 as a freshman Welschof saw action in 6 games and played a total of 83 snaps for the Wolverines. He recorded only 4 tackles, no assists, while adding 6 stops. As a pass rusher, he added 7 total pressures, which included 4 QB hurries, one QB hit, and 2 sacks on the season.

As a sophomore for the Wolverines in 2021 Welschof played in 13 games and took part in 180 snaps for the Wolverines. He recorded only 7 tackles, 4 assists, while adding 4 stops. As a pass rusher, he chalked up 6 total pressures, and 4 QB hurries, one QB hit, and one sack during the year.

In 2022 as a junior Welschof played in 7 games and contributed on 39 snaps. He recorded only one tackle, 2 assists while making one stop.

After season's end Welschof transferred to Charlotte where as a senior for the 49ers in 2023 Welschof played 4 games and took part in 111 snaps for the 49ers. He also added only 4 tackles, one assist, and 4 stops. As a pass rusher, he tallied 4 total pressures, which included 3 QB hurries, one QB hit, and no sacks on the season.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s very good in coverage when looking into the backfield in zone coverage.
  • Greet feel in coverage. Often arrives at the receiver at the same time as the ball, giving up few yards after the catch. Possesses straight-line speed to stay with or chase down receivers in man.
  • Made Bruce Feldman's Freak's List - ranked #7. He wrote "Welschof, who has leaned down 22 pounds to 268, broad-jumps 10-5 consistently and vertical-jumped 34 1/2 inches this offseason. His 40 was 4.66. The most amazing numbers posted by former Wolverine Freak Aidan Hutchinson were his shuttle times. Hutchinson did 6.73 in the 3-cone drill in Indy (sixth fastest among all players there). Hutchinson clocked a 6.54 last offseason in Ann Arbor. Herbert said Welschof ran a 6.76 this offseason. He’s also done a 4.19 in the 20-yard shuttle — only Hutchinson’s 4.15 was faster among D-linemen and linebackers in Indy. Hutchinson was the first athlete Herbert ever witnessed do a “Turkish Get-Up” with 135 pounds and no collars (to lock on the plates) in a quarter-century working in college weight rooms. This offseason, Welschof did it with a 160-pound dumbbell “like it was effortless.”
  • He’s rangy and instinctive when he’s looking into the backfield as a zone defender.
  • Combination of size, length, and agility makes him a secure tackler in space. Could succeed as a free blitzer.
  • He’s a technically sound and consistent tackler, breaking down and wrapping up, with the length and power to swallow up ball carriers.
  • Shows toughness to get under the pads of tackles to bull them, club them upfield to get the inside lane, or fight through blocks for secondary rush when the passer steps up.
  • Flashes closing speed and agility to reach passers from the blind side or up the middle before they can escape.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Welschof lacks the speed of a chase and- tackle guy. He lacks twitch as a pass rusher and lacks the feet and flexibility to threaten around the edge.
  • He is slow to locate the ball and too often overruns plays, easily fooled by counters and misdirections. Welschof has limited experience in coverage, and his awareness when dropping into zone will likely be an issue.
  • Needs to use his hands more violently to defeat blocks while coming after the quarterback at the next level.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
