Shane Beamer has done it again for the South Carolina Gamecocks, landing another high-profile prospect out of the transfer portal in James Madison receiver Antwane Wells, who announced his commitment on Instagram Monday evening.
The 6-foot-1, 208-pound Wells, who has three seasons of eligibility remaining, was a focal point of the Dukes’ offense. With 83 catches for 1,250 yards and 15 touchdowns, he was not only JMU’s leading receiver in 2021, but set new single-season school records in those statistical categories.
Wells, who hails from Highland Springs, Va., and did a year of prep school at Fork Union before attending JMU, chose the Gamecocks over the likes of Auburn, Mississippi State, North Carolina, Virginia Tech, and others.
