Redshirted Illinois RB with intriguing burst and upside
Wyche is a 5-foot-10 Illinois running back who enters the 2026 conversation as a redshirt freshman after not appearing in a game in 2025, with a recruiting profile that rated him a three-star and a respectable EA SPORTS College Football 26 grade of 76. His appeal is upside: at St. Thomas Aquinas, he produced 835 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns in 2024-25, plus earlier two-way production as a junior, suggesting a back who can create yards and handle volume. If you want a developmental runner with proven high school production and room to grow, he is a worthy watch.
