This time, however, it’s to be recognized as one of West Virginia University’s athletic immortals because he’s one of six Mountaineer greats officially being inducted into the WVU Sports Hall of Fame.
Wiley, a Trappe, Pennsylvania, native who now lives and works in New York City, became West Virginia’s ninth consensus All-American in 2003 after leading the country in forced fumbles with seven and ranking third nationally with an average of nearly 13 tackles per game.
He is the school’s all-time leader in career tackles (492), solo tackles (288) and tackles for loss (47½) while also registering eight interceptions, 17 pass breakups, nine forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in what was clearly one of the most productive careers in school history.
