Ethan Wilson Ethan Wilson 6'4" | 225 lbs | ATH North Pitt | 2026 State NC (DL, North Pitt, Senior) has been a force in the trenches and is starting to draw well-deserved attention from college programs. At 6’5, 240 pounds, Wilson has the size and athleticism to project as a disruptive playmaker at the next level, and his recruitment has begun to heat up with several new offers coming in this month. On the field, he’s already posted 55 total tackles and 6 sacks, showing that he can be both productive against the run and dangerous as a pass rusher. Wilson’s combination of frame, motor, and rising profile make him one of the most intriguing senior defensive linemen in the Carolina Recruits Region and a lock for the mid-season defensive watchlist.

You’d be hard-pressed to find a more productive tight end anywhere in the state last year than Wilson, who went over 1,000 yards for North Pitt. He has prototypical tight end size and though he hasn’t shown a full route tree on film (what high school tight end has?) he’s lethal when leaked into the flat or the seam. He’s more than just a big body, as he has excellent hands and looks natural after the catch.

Wilson had a huge junior season, topping 1000 receiving yards and flashing outright dominance at times. He’s a long strider with long arms and good body control. And he has plenty of room for development. He often wins on pure athleticism and as he becomes a more-refined route-runner, he’s going to make a college team happy.
