Chase Wilson Fits with Mountaineers in Final Season | WVU Football All 105

All 105 is a West Virginia Sports Now series profiling each member of the 2025 WVU Football Roster.

Chase Wilson’s college career took three years to get off the ground. After a redshirt season during the COVID-altered 2020 campaign, Wilson suffered a season-ending injury just three games into 2021. He eased his way into the lineup the following season, then broke out for a pair of All-Mountain West Second-Team performances.

A Colorado State Ram for his first five seasons in college, Wilson will conclude his Division I career with WVU Football. A 6-foot-1, 230 pound tackling machine at inside linebacker, Wilson should serve as one of the Mountaineers’ top players at the position alongside fellow transfer Ben Bogle.
