The Evolution of Kellen Wiley Jr's Game

[TouchMoney26]

Just stay the course…..it’s coming

hope so

hes gonna be a good one...size,, speed n range. Just eed to stay the course him

Wiley is a beast in every way measured at the LBer position. He’s going to make more plays on this team this season and will be ready to take over the starting job next season.

Mo Toure and Chase Smith are smart and well aged veterans that both hit like trains. No shame in being behind those guys and learning as much as you can until it’s his time to lead the wolves

I hope his pops is preaching patience. Your time is coming. I see so many kids get impatient and end up making huge mistakes.

 

[TexasCane90]

Toures spot is there for him for the taking next year

I see Fred Warner so much in his game… just hope it works out he’s gonna be a good one

So many people discount the intellect that is required of the LB position. Size, speed, strength, sideline to sideline coverage - Yep. But the ability to quickly diagnose plays and follow schemes - that’s where a lot of young LBs struggle.

Most don’t get good high school coaching so they just freelance and never really learn the position. In college, you must play within the defensive system and that most often takes time.

I think it’s Kellen’s time to shine. Seize the moment, young fella.

Just wait your time bruh dont let impatient Cane fans and super Cane fans complain/Karen for you into the portal.

Hope he’s attached to heathermans hip. The physical tools are elite. If the mental side can get anywhere close to the physical, he’s an all American kinda player

 

[Odysseus]

Wiley and Zeze and Pruitt going to show out in 2027. Hope these guys stay patient and keep grinding

 

[DubCaliCane]

Excellent move to force pressure on the Dunnigan pick, as others have pointed out.

 

[lindend]

He’s part of the reason JJ got that interception when he got the pressure and put his hand up. It made Tate have to force to throw.

Wiley's pressure definitely contributed to the pick six

Been waiting for this type of play for yearssss.. Now we need that young explosive closer that just comes in late and houses plays that just makes people say who the **** is that lol

Like Popo last year, if kid keeps grinding and stays off social media, he will be a key player come playoff time. Unlike Popo, he will not bolt. I’m pretty sure he’s got the right people around him, including his pops, to keep him focused. He certainly is not a bad kid, just needs to trust his coaches and he will leave Miami in a few years as a national champion and first round pick.

@Kellen Sr

Great showing in limited action!! It’s all God’s timing. He will be needed this year, keep grinding and win every rep!

popo had to bolt...dudes a sr and they brought back two guys that were gonna make him a rotational player again...wiley got 3 more years. Popo is here if one of chase or toure left.

And he’s currently 3rd in the ACC in total tackles… #1 in assisted.
