Makel Wilder brings ball-hawk juice to Morgan State’s secondary
Makel Wilder is a freshman defensive back for Morgan State in the 2026 season, listed at 6-foot-1 and 175 pounds, and the buzz around him is all about range, length, and playmaking upside[1][2]. Coming out of Old Mill, he was described as a true ball hawk with elite body control and strong receiver-style ball skills, plus proven versatility from playing both sides of the ball in high school[15]. If you want a DB who can eventually tilt games with interceptions and athletic disruption, he’s a compelling fit; if you need an instant finished product, he may still be developing.[15]
