Wiltz checks in at 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds with a 40-time of 4.40. The cornerback also plays at safety and also has experience on special teams returning the ball. According to former Iowa State recruiting insider Zack Spears, Wiltz had 52 tackles, 4.5 tackles for loss, 14 pass deflections, three picks, and a forced fumble when playing as a corner at Trinity Valley.
247Sports currently doesn’t have a ranking on the cornerback/safety/return specialist from Galena Park, Texas, and neither do other recruiting services like Rivals or ESPN.
However, Wiltz does have a few highlight reels over at Hudl. Here’s a highlight package against Iowa Western that saw him record a season-high seven tackles and one of those being a TFL.
