Wells, entering his first year in Blacksburg after three high-profile seasons at Marshall, was named captain for the Hokies last Friday and received his first preseason recognition from the organization heading into the season.
At Marshall, the Charleston, West Virginia native has served as the starting quarterback for the past two seasons. He finished his Thunder Herd career by completing 460 of 715 passes (64.3%) for 5,623 yards with 34 TDs and 22 INTs, rushing 115 times for 237 yards and nine scores.
Wells led the conference with 2,091 passing yards and 18 TD passes, was named the 2020 Conference USA Man of the Year and became the first freshman QB to earn first-team All-Conference USA honors. He will then earn all-conference honors in 2021 after ranking 15th in the nation with 3,532 passing yards. Wells owns eight career 300-yard passing games, including a career-high 433-yard performance against East Carolina on September 18, 2021.
