Redshirt freshman DB with multi-sport playmaking upside
Wilder is a Memphis defensive back with intriguing athletic upside and a clear playmaker background, having redshirted in 2024 and entered 2026 as an active redshirt sophomore at cornerback.[4][8] At Gordo High, he flashed true two-way impact, including a five-touchdown first half highlighted by a pick-six, fumble recovery return, and blocked-punt return, which suggests quick-twitch instincts and ball skills that can translate in coverage.[4] He is still early in his college development and has no meaningful college stat production yet, so the appeal is long-term upside, competitiveness, and versatility rather than proven on-field output.[1][2]
