Wyatt who stars at wide receiver and safety at the prep level, he finished his junior season in 2024 with 900 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns as well as 31 total tackles, 3.0 TFL's and a fumble recovery.
According to Wyatt, these summer sessions are going to be the biggest key to success in the fall. He wants the team to start learning good habits now, which will eventually translate into the game.
“We just really want to implement a ‘playing hard’ mentality,” Wyatt said. “We want to teach them how to be coachable and not beat themselves. Before you win, you have to learn how not to beat yourselves. Little things will get you beat, so our focus is just executing those little things.”
From National Recruiting Analyst Sam Spiegelman of Rivals.com:
Four-star athlete Joel Wyatt is down to Tennessee and Vanderbilt -- and he will choose from those two in-state programs on July 6. Wyatt is getting courted by the Volunteers to play a hybrid role on defense -- including time at linebacker -- and by the Commodores at safety.Wyatt was in the conversation as the Defensive Back MVP as a lockdown cornerback at the Rivals Five-Star -- with an interception during the 7-on-7 portion and outstanding reps all around. Wyatt also has excellent tape playing not only on defense, but at wide receiver -- and at 6-foot-4 and 200 pounds -- has that in his bag of tricks, too.
Even though Indiana is likely to miss out on Wyatt, they have had an amazing and busy summer. They have landed Kortez Rupert, PJ MacFarlane, Kenton Mondeau, Blake Smythe, Kevountay Hogan CJ Scifres, Parker Elmore and Jayreon Campebell in the past 30 days.
