Background

Early life

Wilson was born on May 30, 2002, in Prosper, Texas. Wilson was a wide receiver and linebacker during his high school career at Prestonwood Christian in Plano, Texas. Eventually rated as a three-star recruit, he committed to Hawaii over offers from Indiana and Louisiana Tech. In three seasons as a Rainbow Warrior, he appeared in 16 games with one start; he transferred to Montana in January 2023. Wilson spent two seasons in Missoula, playing 23 games with 13 starts. Despite his uptick in opportunities and one-time recognition on the second All-Big Sky team, he entered the transfer portal again before his final year of college eligibility. This time, he took his talents to Arizona, where he added 11 more games as well as four starts. In total, Wilson played in 52 college games and finished with 193 total tackles, 16 sacks and two interceptions. Wilson transitioned from tight end to linebacker and played as a core special teamer.
