Bio

2015: A second team All-SAC honoree and a Don Hansen All-Region selection.  Wise was named SAC Special Teams Player of the Week on three occasions in addition to his second team all-region honor.  Wise is the first Carson-Newman player since fellow kicker Curt Duncan in 2012 to earn three SAC special teams player of the week accolades.  He does so after tying Duncan's school record for points in a game by a kicker with 17 in the Eagles' finale with Tusculum.  Wise drilled three field goals and converted all eight of his extra point attempts in the Eagles' 65-32 stomping of Tusculum in the regular season finale.  Wise nailed a career long 42-yard field goal before the half let out Saturday and also hit from 25 and 30 yards on the day. Wise has already inserted himself into C-N's record books this season.  His 104 points this year are the second most in school history for a kicker. Curt Duncan set that mark in 2013 with 109.  His 65 made PATs are third most all-time and his 13 made field goals are fourth. 

High School: Converted 32 of 40 field goals during his career... Career-long kick of 55 yards... Top-five in Virginia high school history made in his career... Named All-Conference, Alll-Region and All-State... Led Blacksburg High School to a state championship in 2013... Member of the National Honor Society... Played for Dave Crist.

Personal: Son of Chris Wise... Father, Chris, played football at Newberry... Intends to major in Social Entrepreneurship
