Coach Elders on Travis:
"Travis is a very skilled and crafty player. He's a point guard with a scorer's mentality but can also create scoring opportunities for his teammates. Travis is a hard worker and has a very high basketball IQ. He's a terrific young man that is committed to his studies and also his walk with Christ. We're tremendously excited to have Travis as a part of our program at Cornerstone University."
Travis on why he chose to come to Cornerstone:
 "I chose Cornerstone University because I felt God was calling me there, and I believe it's the place where I will be challenged academically, physically and as a follower of Christ."

Wells, who was equally successful in the classroom at ERHS with a 3.5 GPA, plans to major in either Education or Business at Cornerstone. He is the son of Mark and Bobbi Wells.
