File / TPI Elmore County alum CJ Wilkes returns to Eclectic as a volunteer coach for the football team.

CJ Wilkes graduated from Elmore County High School in 2024. After one year of football at Huntingdon College, he’s donned the maroon and white again, but this time he’s got a whistle around his neck. 

“I really just wanted to come back and coach to help the program,” Wilkes said. “Because they helped me out a lot. I played one year at Huntingdon last fall and I’m looking to bring that same mindset, energy and dedication to this team. And also, I want to help build this program, so the players can grow on and off the field.”
