Petal (Miss.) four-star defensive lineman Corey Wells has emerged as one of the top prospects in the Magnolia State heading into his senior campaign.
Wells, a Top-10 overall recruit in Mississippi, has reeled in offers from the likes of Ole Miss, Texas, LSU, Auburn and Mississippi State, among several others.
The 6-foot-5, 290-pounder flaunts a double-digit scholarship list with Lane Kiffin and the Ole Miss Rebels becoming contenders in his process.
But Wells has now made his decision after going public with a commitment decision to an SEC foe on Monday.
The four-star defensive lineman has pledged to Steve Sarkisian and the Texas Longhorns after a rigorous recruitment process.Oh yeah. Texas—I love it here. I’m not going to lie. It’s big in Texas,” Wells told On3 Sports after his official visit. “I love the players. I love the coaches. The coaching I’ll get is going to be really good.
“I’ll get developed here. I know they will take real good care of me, and I’ll have a chance to make it to that next level—the NFL. That is where I want to be.”
The Magnolia State standout will be a prospect multiple programs battle for until the Early Signing Period in December with the Longhorns winning out in June.
