A pal of tragic teen Nolan Wells begged him to “get the f--k on the boat” before he was left behind on Horn Island, his self-described “best friend” has claimed.
Wells, 18, went missing during a Fourth of July boat trip to the barrier island 10 miles off Mississippi's Gulf Coast before his body was found in the water just two days later.
Questions from Wells’ parents and online amateur sleuths have dogged the promising football player's pals — about why they left him behind and why they were allegedly in possession of his phone and keys.
Warren Hudson –– who exclusively told The Post Tuesday that he considered Wells his “best friend” –– said that after the boat he had gone to the island on had problems with its bilge pump, Wells was repeatedly asked to get on.
“My buddy asked Nolan multiple times to get on the boat: ‘Nolan, get on the boat, get on the boat, we’re leaving.
If you’re coming, you gotta come now,’” Hudson told conservative YouTuber Brandon Tatum.
“And Nolan made a decision to stay out on the island.”
