Even though he’s still in search of more recognition from national recruiting services, Wilson already has offers from Cincinnati, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Ole Miss, Texas A&M and now West Virginia. The Texas A&M offer also came on Sunday. He’s also visited Notre Dame and Ohio State for a game on multiple occasions.

WVU defensive line coach William Green is Wilson’s lead recruiter, looking to bring in the balanced prospect as a defensive lineman. Wilson has experience at both defensive and offensive line, but is considered more of a fit on the defensive side of the ball.
