I can’t understand why everyone wants to write Wes off when all he has done is improve every season he has been here.

He finally has a LB coach who has proved that he can develop LBs into All Conference players in short time. The last 2 seasons Hetherman has coached a All Conference LB
Cody Lindenberg
*1st year under Hetherman
*High School Ranking: 2020 85 composite 3 star, #73 OLB, #1131 Nationally
*2024 1st team All Big Ten
*Minnesota did not have a All conference LB in 2023, the year before Hetherman arrived
Mohamed Toure
*2nd year under Hetherman
*High School Ranking: 2019 85 composite 3 star, #44 ILB, #1024 Nationally
*2023 Fourth Team All-Big Ten (Phil Steele)
*2023 Honorable Mention All-Big Ten (Coaches & Media)
Under Hetherman I can see Wes finally putting it all together. I think the mental part has always been his issue and now he is in a simple defensive scheme where his natural ability can shine.
