Wilson, who hails from Walnut Hills (OH), is one of the top offensive linemen from the Buckeye State. The three-star lineman held offers from Duke, Minnesota, Boston College, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Temple, Virginia and Ohio among others.

Rivals has him pegged as the fifth-best center in the 2018 class in addition to being the 20th-best prospect from Ohio. Scout.com has him as the 57th-best offensive guard. If his Rivals ranking is any indicator, this was a huge get for Mark Stoops and his staff.
