He’s coming off of a big-time junior campaign with a myriad of schools now on his radar, but the overall high school experience is treating Wyatt well.
“My career at Webb has been great,” Wyatt said to High School On SI. “Academically they push me to be great in the classroom and also show me to be a role model for the kids who are looking up to me and athletic wise they put me in the best way to be great.”
Off the field, he’s become an impressive student, but on the field is where he continues leveling up as one of the top athletes in America.
According to On3 Sports, Wyatt is the No. 1 ATH in the 2026 Recruiting Cycle as he prepares for his senior season at The Webb School.

It’s no secret the hometown Volunteers have the edge in his recruitment, but Brian Kelly’s club is certainly giving him something to think about.
Wyatt is one of double-digit prospects set to be in Baton Rouge in March for visits to campus with a significant focus shifting towards the 2026 Recruiting Cycle.
LSU currently holds the No. 3 rated 2026 class in America and the No. 1 class in the Southeastern Conference.
