UofM Has Another Wheatley

There is a park in the city of Inkster dedicated to Tyrone Wheatley. 

     Many college football fans think about the legendary running back from Michigan whenever they hear the name Tyrone Wheatley.  Tyrone Wheatley is currently coaching Running Backs at the University of Michigan, but the Wolverines have another Tyrone Wheatley at the Tight End position.
     Tyrone Wheatley Jr. is playing in his Sophomore season for the Wolverines, and he's already contributed in the stat column.  Wheatley currently has 2 receptions for 27 yards, and a touchdown.  Both receptions came against the University of Illinois.  Tyrone Wheatley is behind Jake Butt on the depth chart, but Wheatley has shown the ability to produce when his number has been called upon.  Tyrone Wheatley still has two more years of eligibility left at the NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) level after this season.  Click on the links for more information about the University of Michigan athletic program, or the NCAA.
