Wesley Chapel Looks To Improve On 2024

As they looked back on the 2024 season, coaches and players at Wesley Chapel High School were far from satisfied with the 5-5 season, but at the same time, played on the positives.   As head coach Bruce Patterson entered the off-season, looking toward the spring and summer, he never lost sight of the fact that high school football is all about development, and while you would love to win the district and get into the state playoffs, developing talent and getting these young men to the next level on the football field and in the classroom is what the process is all about.   Finishing behind Tampa Gaither and Spring Hill Springstead in District 7-5A, the objective for 2025 is to close the gap and make it a priority to get to the state playoffs this coming season.   Here is a look at some of the prospects who will help the Wildcats make that push:   CLASS OF 2026   SPOTLIGHT PROSPECTS   TJ Aguilar Jr., WR, 5-7, 165 – 4.51 GPA.

Basketball player.”   TAPE: <a href="https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18872156/673b923fb9303084609d9b9a" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.hudl.com/video/3/18872156/673b923fb9303084609d9b9a</a>   Kiyh Anderson, DE/TE, 6-3, 205 – 2.6 GPA.
