College Bio Page

One-Liner

Wyatt is a high effort player who has the ability to contribute against the pass and run due to his snap quickness, lateral agility and striking ability but will need to further enhance his hand usage and improve his stoutness, projecting as a three-down 3- or 1-technique.

Strengths

Explosive and athletic traits firing out of his stance…Good burst and power off the line to get blockers knocked forward…Lateral quickness and flexibility to slice through and get into the backfield…Utilizes rip, club, chop moves to work through blockers…Understands how to get underneath blockers with good pad level…As a run defender, comes through gaps aware and shows great effort and change of direction chasing down ball carriers.

Weaknesses

Below average length allows blockers to get into his frame faster…Doesn’t have the play strength to fight back against redirect blocks…Unable to stack and anchor against double teams…Hand usage comes and goes, getting too wide.

Red Flags

Arrested in 2020 on a charge of criminal trespass/damage to property/family violence.

Fit Likelihood

High (if off-field incident/character checks out)

Grade

1st
