Former South Carolina wide receiver Antwane “Juice” Wells joined a stacked Ole Miss transfer portal class on Sunday.
Wells was limited with injuries in 2023, not playing a full game and not returning after he exited in the first half against Georgia in Week 3.
In Wells’ only full season with South Carolina, he had 68 receptions for 928 yards and six touchdowns in 2022 and he ended the season as a First-Team All-SEC wideout. He broke free for 189 yards and a touchdown against Arkansas in his first conference game, and he had 11 catches for 177 yards in a huge upset victory over Tennessee late in the year. He had four 100-yard games on the year.
The 6-foot-1 wideout began his collegiate career with James Madison. He had 33 receptions for 603 yards and six touchdowns as a freshman in 2020, but he truly exploded as a sophomore.
Wells hauled in 83 catches for 1,250 yards and 15 touchdowns in 2021. The Dukes were not an FBS team at the time, but only two FBS receivers reached all three of those numbers. After a slower start to the season, he had 597 yards and six touchdowns in his final six regular-season games.

Lane Kiffin’s Rebels now have the top 2024 transfer portal class, according to 247Sports. Wells joins former Florida edge rusher Princely Umanmielen, a 2023 Second-Team All-SEC team member, and former Tennessee edge Tyler Baron in the high-octane class.
