James Wells said he was thankful for his,  “parents for always supporting me throughout my life and all the coaches that pushed and believed in me.” “Lastly, I’d like to thank the middle school football coach for cutting me in 7th grade,” said James, who used that rough experience to motivate himself to become the player he is today.
