Developing Richmond linebacker with size and upside
Wilkes is a **6-2, 231-pound junior linebacker** for Richmond who saw action in four games in 2024 after redshirting in 2023, so he still profiles as a developing piece rather than a finished product.[8] His appeal is more about **frame, projection, and special-teams/rotational value** than box-score production right now, since the public stat line is still thin.[8] If you’re looking for a linebacker with growth runway, physicality, and room to add impact as he gets more reps, he’s a name worth tracking closely.[8]
