Thoughts on Wilder going wild

It will be interesting to see where Scottsdale Notre Dame Prep’s Andy Wilder winds up next season and what position(s) he plays at the next level.
While most scouting services don’t have Wilder ranked among the top 30 prospects in Arizona, he is certainly one of the most versatile players in the state if not the most.
The 6-foot-3, 190 pound senior, who splits time between safety, receiver, kicker and punter has the ability to play any and all of those positions in college, according to his coach, Scot Bemis, and “If he just focused on one thing, he’d be phenomenal.”
Any colleges that don’t have Wilder on their radar yet only need to view a tape of last week’s game against Phoenix Washington to get an idea of his value.
Wilder accounted for 21 points in the Saints’ 45-0 victory with a receiving touchdown, an interception return for a touchdown, six extra points and a 32-yard field goal.
Additionally Wilder is averaging 37.6 yards per punt, second in the state according to MaxPreps.com, and of his 28 kickoffs, 19 have resulted in touchbacks.
Army, Colorado, Idaho State, Montana State, Northern Arizona, UNLV and Weber State are among colleges which have shown interest so far, but that list is sure to grow between now and signing day in February.
