Hall of Fame
Simply one of the greatest to ever wear the Maroon and Gold as a student-athlete, Wyatt could be enshrined in both categories of student-athlete and coach if it was possible. Wyatt was a four-year letterwinner in football and track and field (1966-1969), and was named All-SIAC during each year of his career. In 1969, Wyatt was named SIAC Player of the Year as a defensive back and return specialist, devastating opponents with his interception and kick returns for touchdowns. He capped off that phenomenal season by being named as an All-American. Forty-six years later, Wyatt still holds B-CU records for single game interceptions (5), career interceptions (34) and career punt return average (25.6). After concluding his sterling B-CU career in 1970, he was a sixth-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders and thrilled crowds in Oakland and Buffalo during his NFL career, as well as the Jacksonville Sharks of the World Football League. After retiring from his professional career, Wyatt joined the B-CU football staff, serving a long stint as defensive coordinator for both Larry Little and Jack "Cy" McClairen, and would become the winningest head football coach (90 wins) and head women's basketball coach (245) in school history. One of the only coaches to be named MEAC Coach of the Year in Football and Women's Basketball, Wyatt led the Wildcats football team to the 2002 MEAC football championships and a pair of NCAA postseason appearances, as well as the 1998 Heritage Bowl. He led the Lady Cats hoopsters to crowns in the FIAW and MEAC during his career as a women's basketball coach.
