Wells Traveled

RIP the Kliff NORAD Tracker. Introducing, the Wells Traveled (as in “Well Traveled”. I’m so punny). We’ll take a look at where Wells and his assistants have gone since taking over the new job:

  • Juice Brown, the new defensive backs coach, said the coaching staff was out to secure the 2019 commits on Wednesday.
  • Kee’yon Stewart, 83 rated CB decommit, was visited by Coach Wells and Juice Brown on Wednesday. Stewart is apparently the first recruit Wells has visited. Stewart talked to Jarret Johnson of InsideTheRedRaiders about the visit and if he’s coming back.
  • Coach Steve Farmer, the new offensive line coach, visited Lubbock Estacado on Thursday. I’m not sure who he would be looking at.
  • Some members of the coaching staff watched a couple games in Longview on Friday. Those include Henderson vs Carthage and Longview vs Spring Westfield. Most likely they went to see Longview play.
  • Coach Matt Wells and a few staff members watched high school football game at The Star in Frisco on Saturday. Games played there include Duncanville vs Southlake Carroll and Highland Park vs John Tyler.
