Declares for NFL Draft Wiley announced Tuesday that he has declared for 2024 NFL Draft.

Impact Wiley will focus on preparations for the NFL Draft after finishing his fourth and final season with Arizona State. The senior running back was limited to 10 appearances in 2023, totaling 70 carries for 311 yards and three touchdowns.

Grabs two TD passes Wiley had five carries for 24 yards and reeled in all five targets for 68 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 42-18 win against Utah.

Impact Jonah Coleman led the Wildcats in rushing, but Wiley did damage of his own as pass-catcher out of the backfield. Before going down with an injury, the passing game was Wiley's bread and butter, but the dip in rushing production this season will have an adverse effect on his NFL aspirations.

Warming up Saturday Wiley (ankle) is dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Utah, Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Wiley is in uniform warming up Saturday, signaling he should be ready to go versus the Utes. He was active last week but played just two snaps, recording one catch for 13 yards. With another week of rest, he may be able to get back to his normal workload that has seen him accumulate 405 total yards and three touchdowns in seven games this season.

Re-injures ankle Saturday Wiley appeared to have re-injured his ankle during Saturday's 27-10 win over UCLA, Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Wiley was injured in the third quarter Saturday in what appeared to be an ankle injury, and punched the turf while he was on the ground. He missed weeks five through seven with an ankle injury, so him re-injuring that ankle is a brutal turn of events for him. The severity of the injury is currently unknown, as is his status for Saturday's game at Colorado.

Receives limited snaps Wiley accrued four rushes for 26 yards and failed to catch his only target during Saturday's 27-10 victory over UCLA.

Impact When Wiley went down with an ankle injury a few weeks ago, fellow running back Jonah Coleman took over in his stead. Wiley is back healthy now, but it does not appear as though he's gotten his job back. Coleman received 17 carries to Wiley's four, making Coleman the clear workhorse back. As such, it would be smart to avoid the senior running back unless something changes in his role.

Impresses as receiver Wiley (ankle) logged 18 snaps Saturday against Oregon State, but he only finished with two carries and no yards. He also caught five passes for 58 yards and two touchdowns.

Impact Wiley struggled in the backfield and couldn't make an impact as a rushing threat, but he was impressive in the passing attack after finding the end zone twice. Wiley registered his second and third scores of the 2023 campaign.

Dressed and warming up Saturday Wiley (ankle) is dressed and warming up ahead of Saturday's game versus Oregon State, Jason Scheer of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Wiley, who has missed the last three games with an ankle injury, is dressed and warming up Saturday. He looks set to make his return to the field and would be a big boost for the Wildcats' offense. In four games prior to his injury he rushed for 176 yards and a touchdown and caught 15 passes for 132 yards.

Could return against Oregon State Arizona coach Jedd Fischer said Monday that Wiley (ankle) is "close" to returning ahead of Saturday's game versus Oregon State, Devin Homer of azdesertswarm.com reports.

Impact Wiley has missed Arizona's last three games with an ankle but appears close to returning Saturday. If he's unable to suit up against Oregon State, Jonah Coleman should continue to receive the bulk of the team's carries.

Finds end zone in loss Wiley rushed 14 times for 79 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 49-31 loss to Cal.

Impact Although Wiley had a slow start to the season, the snaps have begun to settle, and it's clear that Wiley is still the top option for the Wildcats. Jonah Coleman will continue to get some work, especially in goal-line situations, but Wiley is the more dependable fantasy target in this offense.

Romps for second TD of season Wiley rushed 10 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 31-28 win over North Dakota State. He also caught two passes for six yards.

Impact Wiley led Arizona's rushing attack once again, averaging five yards per carry in the narrow win. Behind Jayden de Laura, the Wildcats are a bit more pass-oriented this season, but Wiley should continue to get opportunities to help open up the passing game.

Gets top billing on depth chart Wiley is listed as the starting running back for the season opener against BYU, Michael Lev of the Arizona Daily Star reports.

Impact Wiley is primed for more work this season with Gary Brightwell gone to the NFL. In limited action as a freshman, Wiley still produced to the tune of 7.2 YPC over 31 attempts while punching in three scores. Look for him to lead the Wildcat backfield Saturday.
