After an impressive career at Temple High School and TCU, Jared Wiley decided to leap onto the next chapter of his football journey by declaring for the 2024 NFL Draft. He quickly emerged as one of the top tight-end prospects to come out of TCU grabbing the spotlight. 

Wiley spent his final two collegiate seasons with the Horned Frogs and became a key part of their offensive attack.  He consistently managed to improve his stats year after year.  Thus TCU fans were quite excited to hear his name being called in the first round. But their hopes were thrashed as his name slipped into the later rounds. While fans anticipate Wiley’s NFL future, let’s take a closer look at his family and get a glimpse of the support system behind him as the big day approaches.

According to the University of Texas Athletics, Wiley is said to be the son of Kim Wiley and Tommy Wiley. While details about his parents’ occupations remain private (and might come out after he starts his NFL career), we know he has two sisters, Emily and Hannah. Emily works as a realtor according to her Instagram, but not much is know about Hannah.  For now, the rest of his family background is under wraps, but his potential on the football field is definitely making headlines.

Wiley’s potential stays hidden under his limited experience

This year’s tight end class is stacked with many superstar prospects and Brock Bowers leads their way. However, Wiley still stands out with his impressive 6’6″ height and 249-pound frame. At TCU, Wiley was a versatile threat, excelling both as a pass-catcher and a blocker. He lined up in various formations, including H-back and even wide receiver at times. While he also played some traditional in-line tight end snaps, his value for the Horned Frogs was his adaptability.

However, the main drawback of Wiley is his limited experience early in his college career. He struggled to see significant action during his first three seasons at TCU, managing only 19 receptions for 248 yards. Additionally, his 4.62-second 40-yard dash at the Combine doesn’t scream elite speed. These factors likely contributed to his later draft selection, potentially ranking over 122nd overall.  Despite these challenges, the young tight end has plenty of raw potential and could thrive well under the right coaching in his new NFL home.
