Expert Analysis

Jordan Reyes

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

Wilkerson took a clear step forward this season and earned a spot inside the top 100 overall. Brings a strong skillset and fluid athleticism to the position. Good natural coverage ability showing he can mirror receivers and stay connected throughout the route. Comfortable playing on an island, showing the patience and disciplined footwork to be effective in a variety of coverage schemes. Displays great awareness with strong ball skills and timing. Competes at the catch point and limits separation downfield. Transitions smoothly out of his pedal and uses good change of direction to close when the ball is in the air. Comes downhill aggressively in run support showing toughness and reliable tackling on the perimeter. Trending in the right direction and is one to watch going into the offseason.

Insane amount of ball skills in both the secondary and as a wide receiver. Didn’t get a lot of burn on offense this past season, but can easily play there. Size is the question right now.
