FORT WORTH, Texas – Ahead of what is expected to be a stellar junior season in 2020, former Northwest and current TCU tight end Pro Wells has been named to Athlon Sports' preseason second team All-Big 12 list.

This comes after Wells stood out during his sophomore campaign with the Horned Frogs last fall, where his five touchdown catches tied for team-best while placing sixth with 17 receptions. The St. Petersburg, Fla. native also played in all 12 games last season, starting in five of the last six contests. As a result, he earned second team All-Big 12 honors by the Associated Press following the conclusion of the 2019 season.

Wells also saw limited time as a redshirt freshman in 2018, playing against Southern, SMU and against Baylor, where he gathered his first two collegiate receptions for 12 yards in a 16-9 win against the Bears.

As part of a 2017 Northwest squad that finished as the MACJC runner-up while earning an appearance in the Graphic Edge Bowl, Wells ranked as the No. 4 JUCO tight end nationally while helping the Rangers to an 8-3 overall record. During his one season with Northwest, Wells caught 19 passes for 304 yards and two touchdowns.

Wells is one of many former Northwest players currently playing at the Division I level this fall. For a complete list of former Rangers at the four-year level, click here.
