By Phil Kornblut
DE Keith Wells (6-5 220) of Gainesville, GA lists USCarolina among his top five right now along with Ohio State, Florida, Georgia Tech and Alabama. He also has offers from Boston College, North Carolina,Marshall, Louisville, Miami, Auburn, Mississippi State and Central Florida. And he is hearing from Clemson, Georgia, LSU, Florida State and Notre Dame. Wells said he gets a lot of text messages and mail from USC recruiter Shane Beamer. He went to a Clemson scrimmage during the spring and attend junior days at Georgia and Georgia Tech. And he took an unofficial visit to North Carolina.
Wells said he will take an unofficial visit to Ohio State this summer and make camp stops at Florida, Georgia and possibly North Carolina. He said he will try to visit this summer all the schools which have offered that are within reasonable driving distance. Wells is being moved to outside linebacker this season. "My strengths are using my hands and I'm very fast for the position I play," he said. "I have the mentality where no one can stop me, no one can lock me." Wells said he had about 60 tackles and 10 sacks last season.
