Hall of Fame
In an era of run heavy offenses, Aaron Wyley was a rare breed. An explosive playmaker at wide receiver, Wyley was a three-time All-PSAC First Team selection from 1977-79, setting records for single-season catches, single-season yards, career yards and career touchdowns.
Wyley was a big-play threat, averaging over 20 yards per catch as a junior. His 701 receiving yards in 1977 stood as a school record until 1991, and his 18 career touchdown grabs still rank fifth all-time.
Wyley was a revelation as a sophomore in 1977, and his play was vital to the club reaching the PSAC “State Game” and winning the PSAC Eastern Division. “The Fly” as he is referred to in media guides from the era, led the PSAC in receiving and set single season records for catches, touchdowns, yards and yards per catch (20.1). He was a unanimous All-PSAC First Team selection.
His junior season of 1978 was impressive as well, scoring All-PSAC East First Team recognition for the second season in a row after hauling in 25 catches for 454 yards—an 18.2 yards per catch average. He also led the team in touchdown catches with four.
As a senior in 1979, Wyley helped the Marauders to the NCAA Division III Playoffs with an 8-1 regular season record. He closed his Marauder career with another All-PSAC East First Team honor, 403 yards and four touchdowns. He graduated as the holder of seven school records.
Wyley graduated in 1980 with a bachelor’s degree in English. He is currently a store manager of a Home Depot in Philadelphia. His son, Rob, played basketball at Millersville University.
