Beyond stats and accolades, he talks about chasing “significance”—leaving behind a legacy remembered by teammates, coaches, and everyone in the program. As he enters his final season, gratitude and perspective drive him, reminding us what makes the journey special.

After a season lost to injury, one of Texas’ most dynamic playmakers is back and ready to make his mark.

Wisner reflects on lessons from last season, including how mental focus can elevate physical performance, and how he plans to carry that forward into game week. From discipline in the weight room to staying grounded through family, this conversation shows the heart behind the grind.
