a steady, veteran William & Mary defensive back with captaincy chops
Wheeling was a long-tenured William & Mary DB from 2002-06, earning senior leadership status and being named a team captain in 2006, which signals trust, consistency, and locker-room value[4][6][8]. Listed at 5'9" and 180 pounds as a senior, he brought compact defensive-back size and versatility to the Tribe’s secondary, and his 2006 season stat line showed active involvement in run support with 6 tackles at Maryland early that year[8][10]. The best fit case for him is a team that values toughness, experience, and reliability over flash—classic “coach’s son” energy, in the best possible football sense[4][6].
