Wadley was a surprise standout running back for the Kennedale Wildcats under Richard Barrett getting his chance to shine in his senior year (2015-16) after Juwan Washington graduated and left to play for San Diego State. Wadley had 10 games of 100-plus rushing yards, including four 200-plus yard games and a pair of 380-plus yard contests. Wadley ranked sixth in the state of Texas in rushing yards, third in rushing scores and fourth in total touchdowns. He was named Texas’ 4A Offensive Player of the Year and was placed on the Associated Press Class 4A All-State football first team.

Here is what KROD Sports News had to say …

“If healthy, Quadraiz Wadley has potential to be an All-Conference USA running back. Throughout his first two seasons, Wadley has shown flashes of greatness, and dare I say, flashes of Aaron Jones. He was the understudy to Jones during his freshman season, where he had 168 yards off 47 attempts.

What?s most impressive about Wadley is his unmatched speed and ability to spot holes in the defense. He can be a breakthrough back, who still hasn?t reached his highest potential. In a multiple running back system, Wadley can flourish and also avoid potential injuries, which plagued him throughout the 2017 season.” See full report
