The year prior, he posted 281 yards and three touchdowns on 16 receptions in 11 games.
As great of a player as Velling is, his tight ends coach, Brian Wozniak, who also coached him at Oregon State, admires another trait of the new Spartan tight end.back in April. "I think he's a great player don't get me wrong. He's always going to be that approachable teammate. I think having that aspect to his game, he's going to help the guys around him.
