Eli Wilt brings SEC-sized frame and three-star upside to WKU's tight end room
In the 2026 season, Eli Wilt arrives at Western Kentucky as a 6-5 to 6-6, 241-pound freshman tight end from Ensworth (Nashville) with three-star recruiting buzz and a solid regional reputation for his size and catch-radius fit. He’s ranked by ESPN as the No. 29 tight end in the 2026 class and No. 40 in Tennessee, which points to a prospect with real development upside rather than a finished product. If your offense wants a big-bodied TE who can grow into a matchup problem, Wilt is absolutely worth the swing.
