Josh Wilkes brings steady production and reliable hands to UAPB’s receiving corps
A productive, high-floor wideout, Josh Wilkes has shown he can create value as a dependable chain-mover rather than just a splash-play target. At South Pointe in the 2015-16 season, he posted 37 receptions for 541 yards (14.6 yards per catch), and at Arkansas-Pine Bluff he immediately translated that skill set into meaningful production after returning from injury, ranking third on the team with 31 catches for 447 yards and 2 touchdowns in the 2019 season. His strength is consistency: he’s a polished route-runner with solid size, and his history suggests toughness and patience after injury setbacks—useful traits for a team needing reliability on the outside.
