UNDERGROUND HUDDLE #7: Josh Wells

Once per quarter, Ben and Sam Rogers with BUILD Coaching Company host The Underground Huddle - an interview with a prominent leader in sports or business with BUILD clients and other select guests present. All attendees live our mission to build an army of Disciplined Leaders and share our vision to be a resource for and a connector of current and aspiring leaders in small business, sports, and other areas of life. For the 7th Underground Huddle we welcomed Josh Wells, a 10-year NFL Veteran who currently plays for the Jacksonville Jaguars. A former high school quarterback, Wells walked-on to James Madison University where he quickly earned a scholarship. At JMU, Wells played multiple positions on the offensive and defensive lines. In 2014, Wells signed with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent. In 2018, Wells was a part of the Jaguars team that made it to the AFC Championship Game where they fell to Tom Brady’s New England Patriots. In 2019, Wells signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and played in all four playoff games during the team’s Super Bowl winning season in 2020. In 2023, Wells reunited with the Jaguars, signing a new contract in April 2023. Wells’ ability to play multiple positions on the offensive line, his desire to be a team player by mentoring younger players, and his resilience in responding to adversity – including a torn patellar tendon last season – has contributed to a career marked by longevity and inspiration. A family man and one of strong faith, Wells resides in Jacksonville with his wife, Morgan, one daughter, and two sons.
