Enjoyed a very effective first season in the Black and Gold after transferring from traditional ASU pipeline Georgia Military College ... has been tabbed as the nose tackle in ASU’s new 3-4 scheme ... is one of five 300-pound defensive linemen for the Mountaineers but like many of the others, Wylie is deceptively quick and athletic for his size.
