Wilmot is one of the top defensive backs in the class across the state and is a smooth mover with ball skills, fluid hips in transition and has good length and a strong frame especially for his age. He can play both safety or corner and is a good open field tackler, comes up and packs a punch and has the frame to continue adding weight over the next two years before college. On tape he also shows he breaks quickly to the ball with return abilities and a high IQ in zone coverage while able to carry and run vertically with deep threats and has recovery speed and length. Wilmot is another kid that should be closing in on more offers soon as well and already has UNLV and Georgia State.
Wilmot checks all the boxes as a D1 safety prospect at 6’1” 185 lbs. He’s a good athlete with a high football IQ and great instincts/anticipation in coverage. In addition to his natural athletic ability, he shows great technique, footwork, and fundamentals both in coverage and when coming downhill in run support. Like his awareness and route recognition that allows him to attach to receivers and close separation/throwing lanes. Operates well in both two high and single high schemes with good eye discipline and assignment execution. Finished the 2025 season with 70 total tackles, 4 interceptions, 13 PBU’s, and 4 forced fumbles. Despite holding several D1 offers he’s still underrecruited given his ability and upside.
– Another intriguing athlete off the O.G. Ducks 13U roster, Wilmot is a prospect who may be ready to really take off, as he gets set to enter high school
– His build and frame are promising. Has some length in his lower half and passes the overall eye test as an athlete. Plays on his toes at all times and his excellent quick-twitch movement
– Phenomenal hands at this point. I didn’t see him drop a ball throughout warmups or in-game. He has room to improve in terms of flexibility, speed and fluidity. When he opens up full throttle, he tends to run stiff at times–almost as if there’s a hitch in his running movement. If he can stretch and get a bit looser, he’ll see his speed and overall movement improve tenfold. Don’t get it twisted, he’s a very good football player and is still a tier above most other 2028s in the country
