Wells preps for visits
Fresh off a visit to Florida, Gainesville defensive end
Keith Wells is packing his bags in anticipation of one-day camps at Notre Dame and Ohio State this weekend.
Two years ago, Wells was playing basketball in Cornelia for Habersham Central. Following a transfer to Gainesville at the start of his junior season, he is suddenly rated as one of the nation?s top defensive end prospects.
?Keith had played basketball all of his life and I think suddenly his desire has changed,? Gainesville coach
Bruce Miller said.
The 6-foot-5, 207-pound Wells, who played both football and basketball at Gainesville last season, is suddenly on everyone?s radar.
Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Ohio State and Tennessee headline his list of offers.
Following additional development, Miller is confident Wells will evolve into a special player on the college level.
?I think they?re getting a project,? he said. ?He only started six games for us last year. He looks the part and runs extremely well for his size. I think his best football is ahead of him.?
