Wheatley is listed at 5-11, 200 pounds on FUMA’s roster, and he could play any number of positions for the Hokies. Below are his Hudl highlights from the 2016 season at Fork Union.

Why wouldn’t Wheatley sign w/UM?
Have to ask him but maybe he wanted to get away from home a little. Not everyone wants to go to college in their home town. Maybe he likes VT.
Actually, it seems UM didn’t offer him ye this father is a coach there. Why not?
I like how he lowers his shoulders to drive into the tackler. Aggressive.
looks elusive and deceptional; doesn’t go down on first or second contact.
i like what we see in this video sample.
what other positions (in addition to WR for sweeps) did he play?
Go Hokies!
How was he just a 3 star back looks great to me
Looks Fast, Looks great. Welcome!
VT coaching staff must see something other schools, including Mich (& his Dad) don’t see?
Welcome aboard!!
Another UM coaches son? Keep ’em coming.
Welcome Aboard the Hokie Train Mr Wheatley…buckle up – it goes Fast!
GO HOKIES!
So we got the son of a Michigan assistant? Happy to have him, but surprised.
Did he have an offer from Mich? If not, no surprise, right?
No offer
That’s pretty arrogant of Harbaugh not to offer just looking at that film
Welcome to the Hokie community young man! Another piece to the future championship puzzle Fuente is putting together!
Go Hokies!
Welcome Terius.
Anyone know TW’s offer list?
Buffalo, Florida A&M, ODU and Hampton
