Expert Analysis
Kevin David | Prep Redzone Scout
The two way standout will look to make his impact primarily on defense this week. Wilhite is a sure tackler who has a history of forcing turnovers. On the season, he has 2 interceptions and two fumble recoveries. If he can force Helix to turn the ball over, the Eagles should be able to capitalize and earn a victory.

Wilhite is a 3-star prospect and one of the top ball hawks of any safety in the state of California. He covers a ton of ground on the back end, can go up and make contested plays on the ball and is a excellent open field tackler when working downhill in space. He triggers well, shows a natural pedal and fluid hips in transition with recovery speed to jump passes over the middle and is physical near the LOS against bigger receivers. His ability to play the entire back half of the field along with his run support abilities makes him a complete safety prospect and another prospect that is going to be a very nice late steal for a FCS range program after the season.
