Wheatfall joined the Bulldogs as a junior college transfer from Blinn College (Texas) in 2019. In his three seasons, he compiled 78 receptions for 1,286 yards and six touchdowns. In 2021, Wheatfall was third on the team with 38 catches, 616 receiving yards and four touchdowns. He was an all-conference wide receiver honorable mention selection in 2020.

Wheatfall is a two-time Earl Campbell Tyler Rose Award watch list honoree. He also participated in the 2022 Tropical Bowl All-Star game.
