In 1922, Wakefield helped the ‘Dores to a 8-0-1 campaign. He was a starter in the inaugural 0-0 game in Dudley Field against Michigan.
Wakefield starred on teams that went 26-5-4.
As injuries mounted in 1924, Wakefield was named captain. He quickly proved worthy of the honor, scoring twice in a win over Auburn, then defeating Georgia Tech with a 37-yard drop-kick field goal.
In the finale, he played every minute in a 16-0 win over Minnesota.
