Reliable depth piece with proven special-teams experience at WKU
Devon Wharton is a steady, team-first defensive end whose value at Western Kentucky has come more from reliability than splashy stats; in 2019, he appeared in all but one game and logged most of his snaps on special teams, while his listed production shows limited box-score impact. He fits best as a rotational or depth defender who brings consistency, effort, and role acceptance rather than headline-grabbing pass-rush numbers, making him a sensible add for a staff that values dependable, assignment-sound players.[2][3][1]
