DE Pledges to South Alabama
JagsJungle.com has learned that defensive end Jalen Wells of Dublin, GA has committed to South Alabama.
The 6'4" 230lb pass rusher had never played organized football until last season, having focused on basketball previously. Wells was in Mobile for the USA 7 on 7 tournament and really impressed the South Alabama coaching staff with his athleticism.
That athleticism was evident in the spring when he competed fro Dublin's track team, triple jumping 34-11 and running the 5000 meters, an unusual event for a big athlete as it requires a tremendous amount of endurance.
With his frame and physical abilities, Wells projects to add another 40+ pounds in the future and become a force on the defense line.
Wells is ranked a three-star player by 247Sports.com and the 80th best tight end in the country (he caught 29 passes for 600 yards and eight touchdowns) while Scout.com designates him a two-star prospect and the 123rd best outside linebacker.
His highlights can be seem at http://www.hudl.com/athlete/785767/highlights/13510381
The Jaguars now have 15 verbal commitments.
