Wyoming’s tone-setting safety with playmaking juice
In the 2024 season, Wyett Ekeler gave Wyoming a veteran, hard-hitting presence at safety, finishing with 46 tackles and an interception despite missing time after breaking both thumbs against BYU[3][4][12]. His 2023 season was his breakout: 77 tackles, 2 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 2 forced fumbles, which is why he earned mention as a potential all-Mountain West safety and landed on Bruce Feldman’s Freaks List[3][13]. The fit? A coach who wants toughness, leadership, and a downhill defender who can still make splash plays will like him a lot[9][13].
