Brady Hoke���s Comments: ���Wyatt is from a great program. Tom Mach at Catholic Central does a tremendous job. Wyatt���s a big, physical back who played both ways and has a very physical nature to him.��� Tom Lemming Of Prep Football Report: ���He���s a versatile player who can line up at tailback, fullback, defensive end, linebacker. He does it all. He reminds me some of former Purdue great and NFL standout Mile Alstott. He can run, catch and block. I���m not sure what Michigan has planned for him, but probably he will be at fullback. I think he has what it takes to play in the NFL at fullback one day.��� Career Totals: Three-year starter as a running back on offense and a defensive lineman on defense ��� As a sophomore and senior (junior year statistics are not available), totaled 59 carries for 406 yards (6.8 yards per rush) and eight touchdowns on offense ��� Notched 98 tackles, 20 tackles for loss and seven sacks ��� Forced two fumbles.
