He followed that up with a tie for fifth at the D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate the following week. In the spring, Wyatt continued to lead the team, posting four consecutive top-15 results, while firing his career-low round of 65 in the process, at the Jackrabbit Invitational in March. Wyatt tied for 26th at the Big 12 Championship and finished the season with a tie for 41st at the NCAA Colorado Regional.

Wyatt set the tone for his junior season with a pair of top-10 finishes to start the season, including a team-best tie for fourth at the Fairway Club Invitational. Wyatt led the Big Red in five of 12 tournaments on the season, including the Big 12 Championship, where he scored a four-over-par 292 en route to a tie for 17th. Wyatt earned a career-best tie for second at the South Florida Invitational in March, thanks to second and third rounds of 68. He finished the event at a career-best 209 (-7). Wyatt finished the season with a career-best 73.65 stroke average, good for second on the team. He was second on the team in nearly every statistical category, including top-five finishes (3), top-10 finshes (5), subpar rounds (12) and rounds counting toward the overall team score (32). Wyatt also claimed first team academic All-Big 12 for his outstanding work in the classroom and on the golf course.

Sophomore (2008-09)
Wyatt scored a 75.66 stroke average through 29 rounds in his second year as a Husker. After missing the first two tournaments because of an ankle injury, NU's returning stroke leader competed in the Husker lineup in each of the remaining 10 competitions. Wyatt earned his first-career medalist honor after tying teammate Brandon Crick with a 144 at the 36-hole Husker Shootout, a triangular that included South Dakota State and Morningside.

Freshman (2007-08)
Wyatt's first season was one of the most successful freshman campaigns in the recent history of Nebraska golf. He recorded a team-best stroke average of 75.33, the best for any Husker freshman since Trent Morrison's 75.29 in 1993-94. Wyatt scored his season-best 214 at the Ron Moore Invitational. He also shot 71 twice in his freshman season. Wyatt closed his successful freshman season with a 306 and tie-for-39th at the Big 12 Championship.

Before Nebraska
Wyatt was the first Illinois native to sign on to play for Coach Bill Spangler at Nebraska, although Spangler coached Jim Troy, a Clarendon Hills native, for Troy's final two seasons. As a sophomore in 2004, Wyatt helped lead Lake Forest to the state title by recording a 21st-place individual finish. Wyatt was an all-conference selection at Lake Forest and was also a member of the all-academic team. Wyatt excelled in the amateur ranks, earning a third-place finish at the 2006 Illinois State Junior Amateur and a pair of top-five finishes on the 2006 AJGA Junior Tour. Prior to arriving at Nebraska, Wyatt captured the Illinois State Junior Amateur championship in the summer of 2007.
