The 6-foot-2, 220-pound Wilson out of Carver High School in Montgomery, Ala., is believed to have Florida and Alabama as his two favorites. One of his teammates and closest friends, three-star cornerback Antonio Nelson, has already committed to the Gators on Nov. 23.
As you’d imagine, Wilson — rated as the No. 2 prospect out of the state of Alabama — has offers from many other SEC schools such as Auburn, LSU, Kentucky, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Tennessee. He also has gotten offers from other big-name programs such as Clemson, Florida State, Michigan, Oregon, UCLA and USC, among others.
