Milton High coach Ben Reaves Jr. can tell a lot of stories about what makes CJ Wiley special. But there's one that stands out more than others. “This was the moment that I fully went all in on CJ Wiley,” Reaves told DawgNation.com. “We have a JUGS machine. He texted me one weekend in early August. He said ‘Hey coach, can I have the code to the shed? I want to come in on Sunday and get some work on the JUGS. So, I gave him the code to the shed.” The Sunday workouts became a ritual for Wiley – one he often share with his parents. His dad played at LSU and in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, and his mom ran track at LSU. “What was great was while dad was feeding the balls into the JUGS machine then mom had got a pad or something and was giving him the business with that pad,” Reaves said. “Making him catch with contact. They are both out there working with him. Fully invested.” During the 2024 season, racked up 68 catches for 1,473 yards and 14 touchdowns, leading Georgia's Class 7A in receiving yards.
