Ball-Hawking Freshman DB with Elite HS INT Pedigree Joins Hot Tarleton Defense
CJ Wells, a 5-11, 170-lb freshman DB from Mesquite, TX, brings proven shutdown skills to Tarleton State's undefeated 8-0 squad, fresh off a HS senior year with **8 interceptions**, **13 pass breakups**, and **33 tackles** en route to back-to-back 9-6A titles at Sachse HS—earning First Team All-District and Second Team All-State nods[4]. His quick-twitch instincts and championship intensity make him a **turnover machine** differentiator in a secondary that fuels Tarleton's aggressive defense[6]. No college injuries yet; perfect fit for teams needing feisty, high-motor corners who thrive in big moments—watch him climb stat sheets in 2026[1][2].
