Announced today that he has committed to Akron.
Akron finished 2-10 last year in the Mid-American Conference.

(For some reason, couldn't put his twitter post in this post)

I don't give a Zip about Cam Wiley these days...

Wish him well. Couldn't hang on here, perhaps he'll do well there.

I see what you did there...

 

[PhillyGopher]

I think he will do very well there

Wanted to be a running back. Wasn't going to be a highlighted guy here. Wish he would have been open to a position change.....because he has the physical attributes to play a number (recruiting services labeled him as an athlete) of other positions. I'll be pulling for him to do his thing at Akron, though.

The last game he played, before announcing the portal, he did line up as WR.

Zips is one of the best CFB team names.

Will always remember his long run right before halftime in the win in Lincoln. Really kept momentum on our side. Well blocked play to say the least.

 

[spermophilus]

Cam has always been a stand up guy.

HC there is Joe Moorhead who is an smart
offensive coach. Wonder how he’ll utilize him.

Their mascot is a kangaroo. Cool all around.

I'll never dog a kid who wanted to play here and gave it his all. Best of luck to him but I'll stick with Ky and Bucky (and Mo!)

 

[UpAndUnder43]

Good luck to Cam. I hope he does great.

This is a great landing spot for him, I predict that he thrives there. Best of luck to him.

From Wiki...
The school's nickname, "Zips", is a shortening of "Zippers", a pair of rubber overshoes and a brand name of the BF Goodrich Company of Akron. It was originally adopted by the school in 1925 after a contest to give the school a nickname. "Kangaroos" was one of the choices at the time. In 1950, the current nickname was adopted because of the rising popularity of zippers in use on pants. Two years later, a committee suggested the kangaroo as a mascot,[1] and it was accepted by the student council on May 1, 1953. Originally, it was met with derision, as it was not put to a campus-wide vote. However, over time, Zippy has become a fan favorite at the school.


Weird. And I thought they were named after 70’s kids tennis shoes…

I'm not going to dog him but he should have finished the season.

Yup, be a team player and play out the string.

He probably would have gotten more opportunities too.

I feel the same about Curtis Dunlap's move.
