Per his Twitter account.  6-5, 190 - currently 11th all time Stark County passing yards

Is this the first 2014 football commit?

I like his height and the fact that he will have played for four seasons.  He does perform against weak competition, but that is beyond his control.  Wofford and Montgomery must really like him if they offered him this early. 

We should have quite a competition for the job once Hess graduates.  Good.  Survival of the fittest.  Last man standing.  That should toughen up the winner before he takes his first meaningful varsity snap. (Wargo will get some garbage time this season in three of our four first games....we better have the starters out by the third quarter.)

Good points. Let's not forget that he could be brought in as an athlete. Aside from Hess, we have two QB's now, 2 in the 2013 class (one was recruited as an athlete), and this one for 2014. We certainly have no shortage of QBs.

I would still like to see an honest effort at some power in the run game, and a true nickel/dime offense.

Although this article would indicate he really stood out at 3 camps this past summer ...especially ours:

How did he not attend Massillon? Massillon lets few players who are great, slip through their fingers.

Massillon doesn't get them all.  AS a Fairless Alum, I say YSU might have found a sleeper.  Maybe this will be the next Mark Brungard!!!

14-21 150 yards 3 or 4 TDs 0 Ints assuming he had all the passing attempts tonight
Fairless won 42-8

F—Mahaffey 8 run (Kelly pass from Wells)
F—Olmstead 13 pass from Wells (Bair kick)
F—Weyandt 18 pass from Wells (Bair kick)
F—Wickham 19 pass from Wells (Bair kick)

the 1st TD says run and pass so a screen maybe?

1640 yards roughly away from the stark county all time passing yards leader

[AFGuin]

Fairless won by 11 but no stats reported
they are 2-0 on the year so far

Wells 31-40 464 yards 5 TDs 0 Ints

2 games for Wells
45-61 615 Yards 8 TDs 0 Ints

Needs roughly 1200 Yards for the Stark County passing yards record

From Sat Sept 7th The Repository (Cantons Local Newspaper)  #1 on all time passing record is Alliance Charles Baab 6081 yards. #6 on the list is Hunter Wells 5397, my math says that he only needs 684 yards to break the All Time Stark County Passing Record!

You're stats/math are incorrect. comming into the season he needed over 1800 yards so its impossible for him to need 684

Edit: He needed just under 1800 yards to break the record according to this way back in febuary.

[batty1515]

Highschoolsportcenter's math was wrong in that article 492(frosh)+1952(soph)+2342(Jr)=4786

6081(Baab) -4786(yards from above article)=1295 He needed to start his Senior year 1295-150(week 1)-464(week 2)=681 yards needed to break stark county all time passing record!

At least this QB has his head in the right place,  this is a copy and past from his twitter account

All this talk about me breaking the stark record I could care less if I did, as long as we win that's all I'm concerned about #PacChamps

AT Guin that was your best post to date.  You stated facts. 

What can now be debated is the level of competition he faced to get those stats but that was an excellent post.
