Lelan Wilhoite brings veteran versatility and burst to Tennessee State
In the 2025 season, Lelan Wilhoite gave Tennessee State a compact, multi-use weapon: 20 rushing yards on 4 carries, 15 receiving yards on 2 catches, and kick-return value that showed he can help in more than one phase[3][6][8]. He’s a 5'11", 185-pound senior with Nashville roots, a transfer path that suggests real football mileage, and enough speed/return ability to stay on the field even when the rushing volume is modest[1][5][14]. Not a pure bell-cow, but a useful fit for a staff that values flexibility, toughness, and special-teams juice.
