Grant Wells has his degree and has decided to move on. There isn’t much in the surprise category and it does free up a critical scholarship in what has been a relatively limited recruiting class, but Coach Pry mentioned quickly that Wells was moving on from the Hokies.
The unfortunate breaks of football are often injuries, and injury outages reinforcing performance issues are doubly troublesome for the injured player. Wells had a decent enough ODU game though there were some quibbles, back and forth, Tech did win it, and Wells. After the Purdue game and the disappointing one score loss after the weather fiasco, Wells never regained the starting position and only appeared in a few games, including the last TD drive against UVA where I don’t remember him throwing a critical pass.
