Expert Analysis

Ed OBrien

Ed O'Brien

Wells is a middle linebacker who plays with great instincts, timing, and physicality. He consistently shows excellent blitz timing, shooting gaps untouched to sack the quarterback multiple times. His awareness stands out in zone coverage, as he reads the quarterback’s eyes and reacts quickly to scramble situations, making stops behind the line. Wells also diagnoses run plays efficiently, timing his run blitzes perfectly and tackling backs for losses. He plays with good closing speed and discipline, staying balanced while attacking downhill. To elevate his game, he could show more film of lateral pursuit, man coverage reps, and ball skills to display his range beyond the box.

Mount St. Joe had a close win against Mt. Zion in a game that finished 14-7 and Ian and the MSJ defense were key in that victory. Ian was all over the field compiling 8 tackles, including 1 TFL , 1 sack, and multiple pressures. Playing fast and physical he was a wrecking ball coming downhill to attack the ball. Quick to find the ball, react and close before laying some big hits. He consistently tackled through the ball carrier with force and made sure they felt it. An effective blitzer up the the middle as well, he shoots the gap and is either in the backfield making the play or stonewalling it at the LOS. I liked his quickness & burst to the ball, as again he was playing with a high motor and lots of energy. That was a big part to the MSJ defensive playing so well as that energy helped the rest of the defense play up to Ian’s level.

A good size thick built ILB, Ian is also a high academic prospect. He holds a few D3 academic offers and should be getting plenty more attention from those type of schools this season. If he continues to put games together like the one this past weekend I could see some FCS high academic schools come calling for Ian as well.
