A linebacker a lot of programs are chasing has pared his list of schools he’s considering from 31 down to 12.
Raylen Wilson, a 4-star linebacker out of Tallahassee, Florida (Lincoln), announced on social media that his top 10 schools had a lot of SEC flavor in them. It was Michigan, Georgia, Penn State, Florida, Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Alabama, Clemson, South Carolina, Oregon and Notre Dame.
Wilson is the No. 6 linebacker in the Class of 2023, and the No. 19 player in the state of Florida, according to the 247Sports Composite. He is 6-foot-2 and 201 pounds. It was noted that he jumped 66 spots to No. 45 in the Top247.
He has NFL bloodlines as his father, Robert Wilson, played for the New Orleans Saints in the early 2000s after a decorated career at Florida A&M. The younger Wilson is an off-ball linebacker with plenty of foot speed as he was a a district qualifier in the 100-meter dash after checking into a camp at 6-foot-2, 205 pounds back in March. Aside from Wilson’s range, he shows solid instincts on tape and has the looks of someone that will be able to be a multi-year contributor at the Power 5 level. FSU has done a nice job of prioritizing Wilson early on in the 2023 cycle. Kansas is also involved now in the recruitment now that his older brother goes to school in Lawrence.
