Expert Analysis
Rob Howe | Prep Redzone Scout
Wilkes looks like an old-school middle linebacker lining up for the Cougars, complete with the neck roll. He lives up to that image when the play is underway. Wilkes adjusts his position through pre-snap reads. Once the ball is snapped, Wilkes picks the right gaps, getting through them with a burst and physicality. He flows well to the football and keeps the action in front of him. A good athlete, Wilkes could fit as a linebacker at the next level, but he’s also agile enough to work as a hybrid or safety in some systems. He had accumulated 32.0 tackles (20 solo, 1.0 TFL) Kennedy’s first five games in 2025.

Read EvaluationEliot Clough | Prep Redzone Scout
The leading returning tackler from last season, Wilkes posted 44 tackles and four tackles-for-loss last season for the Cougars. The straw that stirs the drink for the defense this season, the senior will be expected to rack up a ton of tackles once again this fall after earning first-team all-league honors in the Mississippi Valley Conference last season.
Wilkes will certainly have a chance to play football at the next level, and like Bunting, an uber-productive senior year will only help improve his stock.
