Wilson is a true dual-threat QB with great size, arm talent, and speed. Wilson had a dominant junior campaign on the stat sheet, throwing for over 2,200 yards and rushing for another 677 yards for Reno HS. Surprisingly, Wilson does not yet have any offers, but the junior QB will gain some soon and continue to dominate in Northern Nevada in his senior campaign.

Wilson is a big and physical dual-threat signal caller and one of the top passers in all of Nevada with plus running abilities as well. He is very accurate with a live arm and can flick the ball into tight windows at the second and third level. He shows tremendous arm strength and pinpoint passing especially went on the run and throwing across his body. Wilson has the ability to buy time in the pocket with his legs while doing a good job of keeping his eyes downfield before delivering. He showed tremendous throw power, mechanics, an ideal build for the position and is a no-brainer next level guy. At the showcase last month he was one of the top quarterbacks in attendance and had a strong showing and should continue to see his stock rise this spring.

Wilson put together a breakout junior season in his first season as starter for Reno. The 6’2″/195 QB threw for over 2,200 yards and 21 TDs with only 5 INTs this fall. He’s a gifted passer with promising arm talent and accuracy. Smooth in his mechanics and operation from the pocket, can deliver with velocity or touch downfield, and shows his athleticism as a read-option threat. He can mix up his arm angles to fit throws into tight windows, gets the ball out with a quick release, and makes impressive throws on the move. Wilson has generated Moutain West interest from Nevada and Colorado St. and could be picking up his first offer this offseason.
