Keith Wells said he has no second thoughts as he prepares to announce at 1 p.m. Friday where he will play college football next season.
“I feel real good about the decision,” said Wells, who will choose between Auburn, Florida and Florida State at a news conference at Gainesville High School.

“I evaluated all the schools,” Wells said, “and now I’m just basically ready to announce and get it over with.”
One of his first tasks following the announcement is to officially notify the winning school.
“I’ll give them a call and speak to the head coach,” Wells said. “After that, I’ll just move on and worry about my team stuff here at Gainesville.”
The 6-foot-5, 207-pound Wells said he never considered holding the press conference at an alternate site.
“I’ve always want to represent my school in a positive way,” he said. “When it comes to athletics, Gainesville has had a lot of great prospects come through.
“It’s an honor to continue the tradition of great athletes and be part of that legacy. I’m honored to announce this at my school. I wouldn’t do it anywhere else.”
