Scouting Report

- Nebraska Media Relations

Wes Wilkinson began to show flashes of dominating play on offense last season and looks to have a breakout year during his senior campaign. The Grand Island native easily surpassed his totals from his first two years in nearly every statistical category, including scoring 209 points after registering just 120 points combined as a freshman and sophomore.

Providing Nebraska with a unique weapon, Wilkinson has the athleticism and agility to play on the wing while also adding the size needed to play closer to the basket. A skilled shooter with a soft touch, Wilkinson possesses the ability to consistently hit from 3-point range and can also utilize his speed and long frame to create shots while driving to the basket.

On the defensive end, Wilkinson will continue to provide Nebraska with a shot-blocking presence. Last season, Wilkinson ranked eighth in the Big 12 Conference in blocked shots per game (1.22 bpg). Only four players ranked ahead of him last year return in 2005-06.

Wilkinson has also continued his improvement in the weight room, where he has gained nearly 10 pounds while still retaining his explosiveness.
