Wilkerson’s size might give FCS programs easier access to his signature, and if he lands at that level, he would gift one of those schools with a well-rounded skillset, that is if those schools stay away. He plays LT with a true IOL build, but regardless, he has the foot speed to mirror pass rushers and kick out to meet wide-9 rushers, better than pretty much any player at his size and stature that I’ve seen in the class. He has true mauler flashes as well. He has strong, manipulative hands at the point, which will improve as his hands get tighter. He stays anchored, engaged, and drives blockers through the turf. A lot of green flags on tape from Wilkerson.

Donovan Wilkerson is a talented LT from Jasper who’s coming off a really impressive junior season this past fall.

“At 6’4 310, Wilkerson has dominant size, strength, and leverage he uses to bulldoze any defender in his path. Wilkerson is unstoppable as a run blocker. He explodes off the line, can flatten defenders, and has the mobility to work from level to level and assist his teammates further downfield.

I’m equally impressed with Wilkerson’s pass-protection skills. He’s really quick on his feet, is highly reactive, and does a great job using his hands and pad level to keep pass rushers away from his QB. I think Wilkerson could easily pick up some attention from the next level; we’re all going to have to watch.”

Wilkerson really impressed me with his tape. I’m excited to see him play this upcoming fall. I think he has a really big year ahead.
