Maryland’s Chris Wells brings downhill linebacker size, but still needs game reps
In the 2026 season, Chris Wells profiles as a 6-foot-1, 246-pound redshirt junior linebacker whose main calling card is size and a physical, downhill style; Maryland lists him on the roster, but team sources show he did not log game action in 2025 and had no available collegiate stats. He arrived after a strong Landon High School run with 232 tackles, 14 sacks, 16 tackles for loss, seven interceptions, and seven forced fumbles over his final two seasons, which hints at range and playmaking upside. The fit is intriguing if your team wants a tough, developmental LB with special-teams potential and room to grow.
