At 6’4″ and 260 lbs., Wheeler has a frame that will catch the attention of D1 programs. He has fairly long arms too, and though he needs to improve hand placement and pad level, which would help a lot with getting better leverage on the offensive lineman. He does show good activity working off his blocks. Wheeler has a lot of tools to build on and is very much under the radar for now. He shows good activity, and pretty strong hands at the point of attack. There are good moments where Wheeler has solid fundamentals in a 1v1, beating with a swim move over the top and then rushing the QB. Wheeler has a lot of upside, and as he continues to fill out his frame, his physicality and size should provide a college with an SDE who can control the edge or he might just grow into a full-time defensive tackle. Watching him work off blocks, sticking with the ball carrier, and making solid tackles suggests that even if Wheeler is raw, he has the mindset to become a solid defensive lineman at the D1 level.
