Former DB Antoine Wilder embraces change, hits linebacker ranks

Redshirt Sophomore / 5’10” / 190 / Riverdale, Ga. / Hapeville Charter

Things are going to be a little different for Wilder than they were last year. Recruited as a safety out of Hapeville Charter High School (the same high school as 2018 commit Kingsley Enagbare), the Atlanta-area product appeared in all but one game at nickel in 2016. However, during the spring, the staff began the process of switching him to linebacker. It figures to not be as much as a transition for him in reality, and with a player like Bryson Allen-Williams to learn from at the strongside LB (SAM) slot, he should make the adjustment well and even see a little bit of time in the rotation behind the defensive line in 2017.
