| Wilson is cat-quick off the line and has very good quickness of the edge. He can speed rush right by you or use his natural power. Wilson can get after the quarterback and stop the run. He's terrific in pursuit because he has a wealth of speed and he also moves well down the line of scrimmage. Wilson has the frame to add a lot of weight. He needs to use his hands more and learn technique but that should come in time at the next level. |
| Biography: |
Wilson ranks as one of the top defensive prospects in the midwest in 2006. He was named first team All-Metro by the Chicago Sun-Times as a junior. During his junior season, he claims to have recorded 99 tackles, 25 for loss, 18 sacks, seven forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries. On offense, he claimed 14 receptions and five touchdowns.
Final senior season (7-5) stats: 240 tackles/7 sacks/1 interception/1 forced fumble/1 fumble recovered; 42 Catches/1005 yards/9 TDs
Wilson reports a 2.9 core GPA and a 17 ACT.
Wilson: "I don't mind playing outside linebacker, but I'm a little more comfortable with defensive end because I play it in high school. I'm a good team player and a leader, so I pump up my team. On the field, I'm strong at tackling the quarterback. I would like to be able to get into the backfield even more and get off the ball a little quicker. I've been speaking with all the coaches and they pretty much say the same thing. They like the fact that I have size, speed and ability. It's rare."
