Tenacity is my favorite word. On Monday in the SWAC Coaches Press Conference, Deion Sanders spoke about two players who embody the character of “tenacity” — Aubrey Miller Jr. and Sy’veon Wilkerson. He’s been pleased with their preparation and consistency throughout the 2022 season.
SY’VEON WILKERSON
“To have a running back who’s consistent. And I truly mean consistent,” Sanders shared about Wilkerson with HBCU Legends. “The way he practices, the way he goes about his job, and he’s physical. He could run by you. He could run through you, as well as catches the ball out of the backfield.”
Running back Sy’veon Wilkerson was a highly-touted recruit from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School. He initially signed with West Virginia and transferred to Delaware State, receiving first-team All-MEAC honors.
