Salem High School in Virginia Beach has been abuzz with excitement as 2025 athlete Fabian Wells continues to make waves on the football field. The 5'11", 180-pound dynamo has been capturing attention with his exceptional skills and unwavering dedication to the sport.

Wells' football journey began at an early age, sparking his interest when he first stepped onto the field at the tender age of four. "I first started playing football when I was 4 years old, starting off in flag," Wells explained. "What really sparked my interest in the sport was growing up around/watching football in the family. I also just liked to get out and be active, so football was a way for me to do that."

One of the pivotal figures in Wells' development has been his father, who has played a significant role in shaping his football prowess. "I feel like my father played a big part in where I’m at today with my development," Wells shared. "I’ve been working out with him since I was a kid, and he's also helped me get to other camps to improve my skills."

With an impressive 3.2 GPA alongside his football accomplishments, Wells has also garnered attention in the recruiting world. Although he's been engaged in discussions with a few schools, official offers have yet to materialize. "The recruitment process has been slowly rising," Wells noted. "I’ve talked to a few schools but no official offers yet."

While football remains a cornerstone of Wells' life, he manages to strike a balance between his dedication to the game and his personal interests. "Aside from football, I like to hang out with family and friends and play video games," Wells shared. "Every day really involves getting better at the sport in some type of way, with practice every day or going to Mt. Trashmore on days we don’t have practice."

Wells' influences extend beyond the gridiron as well. "Outside of football, some role models are my parents, who take care of me and my siblings and keep me on top of everything like school and maturing into a man," Wells explained. "Inside of football, I looked up to my father, and growing up, I watched a lot of Odell Beckham."

As Fabian Wells continues to hone his skills and navigate the recruiting process, it's evident that he's not only a standout on the field but also a well-rounded individual with a strong support system guiding his journey. The future certainly looks promising for this rising star from Salem High School.
