Wichita State’s ultimate glue guy and clutch floor spacer
Evan Wessel was the kind of Wichita State forward coaches trust: a tough, high-IQ “glue guy” who appeared in 123 games, made 74 starts, and earned three MVC Scholar-Athlete honors during one of the Shockers’ most successful eras[1]. In the 2010-11 season at Wichita Heights, he averaged 13.2 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 4.5 assists while shooting 58% from the field, showing a rare blend of size, versatility, and feel[2]. He also battled through an injury in high school and later a broken hand in college, which only sharpened his reputation for resilience and team-first intensity[2][3]. If you want a smart, physical wing/forward who makes winning plays without needing the spotlight, he’s your guy[1][6].
