WR Antwane Wells - Ole Miss (6’0, 204)
Antwane Wells played in 9 games with 4 starts for the Aviators this season and recorded 25 catches on his 39 targets for 237 yards and 2 touchdowns. By my count, he had 7 missed tackles over the season from defenders over the season, making for a higher rate of missed tackles forced for the number of receptions.

He transferred to the University of South Carolina, where he played in 15 games with 9 starts and caught 71 passes for 965 yards and 7 touchdowns from 2022 to 2023.
He played his final season of collegiate ball in 2024 with Ole Miss, where he played in 13 games with 7 starts and caught 28 passes for 553 yards and 6 touchdowns.
