Jarrell Wiley gives UIW a tough, efficient one-cut run game
In the 2024 season, Jarrell Wiley showed real value as a compact, physical UIW back, rushing for 399 yards and 3 touchdowns on 77 carries while adding 8 catches, with two 90-plus-yard games against East Texas A&M and HCU[1][2]. He’s not a volume-bellcow star, but he brings steady burst, enough receiving utility, and a proven nose for chunk plays, plus a history of productive seasons in 2022 and 2023[1][2]. HERO Sports also noted UIW’s backfield was deep and battled injuries, so Wiley fits as a reliable rotation piece who can punish tired defenses and keep an offense on schedule[4].
