College career

Wiley played college basketball for the Montana Grizzlies, Lewis–Clark State Warriors, and Eastern Washington Eagles. He primarily plays the forward position. During his first and only year at Montana, he averaged a very discouraging 1.0 point and 3.0 minutes per game with Montana, including tying a team-high 5 points in a blowout 81–34 2013 NCAA tournament loss to Syracuse.

After that point, he started over his basketball career, transferring to Lewis–Clark State in the NAIA. His first year at Lewis–Clark led to Wiley earning All-Conference honors and was named an All-American honorable mention there.

After that, he transferred to Eastern Washington to try and earn a master's degree while also playing basketball.
