He recorded a team-high 12 tackles, 10 of which were solo, 1.5 tackles for loss, a sack, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery, all during the homecoming game against Campbell. Wheeler moved into second place all-time on the Spiders career tackles list and leads all active players at all levels of the NCAA in career tackles, with 455. 🏈 Read more about Wheeler’s stats here.
