Zayveon Wells is a versatile, physical safety with real playmaking flashes for Western Carolina
In the 2025 season, Zayveon Wells played in 11 of Western Carolina’s 12 games as a defensive reserve and special-teams contributor, finishing with 14 tackles, 1.5 tackles for loss, a pass breakup, and a quarterback hurry. His value goes beyond the box score: he’s been active around the ball in spring work too, with coaches noting an athletic interception during practice, which fits a defensive back who brings range, energy, and opportunistic instincts. At 5-foot-10 and 195 pounds, he looks like a gritty, high-effort fit for teams that want reliability, toughness, and a safety who can help in multiple roles.
