Saint Augustine’s Wells added to Dixie Gridiron Classic Roster
 
Joins teammate Walter Sanders on Classic Roster

January 31, 2011

Senior offensive lineman Justin Wells (Baltimore, Md.) will join teammate Walter Sanders in Saturday’s college football all-star game at Desert Hills High School in St. George, Utah. The contest will start at 2 p.m. ET.
 
Wells competed in the HBCU Classic with Sanders in December 2010. He gets another chance to display his talents before professional scouts against top-level competition. Eighty-five percent of the players scheduled to participate in the Dixie Gridiron Classic played at Division I schools.
 
Wells more than held his own in the CIAA. He earned all-conference first-team honors in addition to making the Don Hansen All-Super Region One third team. A 6-foot-5, 290-pound guard, Wells anchored an offensive line which helped Sanders win the league rushing title with 1,377 yards and 15 touchdowns. Sanders was named the CIAA offensive player of the year.
 
The Falcons averaged 152.6 rushing yards per game, and were second in the CIAA in time of possession (30:43). The running game helped key the Falcons to a record 9-2 overall mark and the 2010 Pioneer Bowl title.
