Billy Wayte was a Canadian Football League player whose main position was defensive back.
After playing college football at Fresno State, Billy Wayte joined the Montreal Alouettes in 1961 and remained with them until 1964, mostly playing at the defensive back position, but also occasionally as a punt and kick returner.
In 1965, Wayte was traded to the Hamilton Tiger Cats, where he remained for two years, playing in all 14 games during both seasons.
In 1965, he led the eastern conference with 9 interceptions, which helped Hamilton win the Grey Cup.
He intercepted 4 passes the following year and then abruptly retired at the young age of 27, returning to California as a high school teacher.
