The overall rating consensus from Scout.com, Rivals.com and 247Sports ranked Wise as one of the top 40 defensive ends in the nation. His three-star recruitment prospect rating earned Wise offers from Arkansas, Texas A&M, Vanderbilt, Arizona, Purdue and Wake Forest.

Wise recorded eight combined tackles, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback pressures, and a forced fumble during their 10–3 victory over the East. His dominant performance and game-high eight tackles raised his draft stock with multiple draft experts reporting his rise up draft boards. He was one of 59 defensive linemen invited to the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Indiana. On March 15, 2017, he opted to participate at Arkansas' Pro Day. Wise made the First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll for the 2012–2013 semester. He graduated in 2016 with a degree in kinesiology.

Personal life

Wise is a vegan and became a part time owner of Veggie Galaxy, a restaurant in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 2024. He was also inducted into the Hebron High School Hall of Fame the same year. Wise and his family operate a non-contact youth program called Wise Big Man Camp, opened to 7th–12th graders interested in learning the basics of football.
