was unbelievable in his time at Gulf Shores- he was used in so many creative ways on offense and almost always found a way to create explosive plays. Wilson might be one of the most athletically gifted players in the state- he can completely flip the field in a moments notice and is a tough player to stop. WIlson is electric out of the backfield-he plays with unreal speed, has great change of direction, and can make defenders miss with ease. Wilson also has really reliable hands that can help create plays in the passing game- he’s a reliable target underneath who comes in great help when his quarterback is pressured or nothing else is open. Wilson had yet another dominant season for Gulf Shores this past year- ending his senior season with 219 carries for 1672 yards and 17 touchdowns on the ground, with 18 receptions for 199 yards and one touchdown as a receiver. It’s been really fun watching Wilson play these last two seasons- he’s extremely talented and is bringing a ton of that talent with him to Mississippi State. Be sure to watch his tape below, I have a feeling we will be seeing him do some similar things soon at the next level!

The 5’8 175 RB is definitely one that will vault higher in the rankings in 2024. Currently ranked as the #12 overall ATH in the State this rising senior is primed for a big senior season to follow up a huge junior campaign. Physical RB that has spent some time in the weight room. He is elusive with that “Twitch” to make defenders miss in space. Wilson rushed for 2300 yards and 33 TDs last year for the 5A State Champs. Great in the classroom with a 4.3 gpa and a 27 ACT. Wilson reportedly committed to Cincinatti back in April but that hasn’t stopped the offers from flowing in. High academic programs like Harvard and Duke are among the schools that have extended offers.

Wilson is an instant accelerator who can get up to top speed in a blink, giving him the ability to shoot through gaps that would close too quickly for most other running backs. He’s not going to run through a defender’s face, but he uses turbo-charged acceleration to rip through arm tackles and shrug off defenders in space. When he finds a little bit of green, he can access an extra gear few players have and run away from the defense. Wilson is a good pass catcher out of the backfield and even got some reps lined up wide and in the slot. He has reliable hands and is a confident catcher of the football, collecting the pass and looking to move upfield in one smooth motion.

- Wilson aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
- An instinctive runner, he has a knack for setting up defenders and making people miss in space. He’s at his best in space and on the perimeter, where he shows the balance and acceleration, plus pure speed, to make a move and then take off.
- Wilson is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.

Has a smooth game and is able to change speeds effectively. Shows adequate patience and vision to let blocking develop and recognize cutback lanes. Clean footwork when shuffling to find a hole and doesn’t waste any time hitting when he finds an opportunity, showing adequate burst. Runs with a low center of gravity and appropriate knee-bend. Able to squeeze through pockets for yardage. Can slip by defenders in a phone booth. Runs through arm tackles in the open field. Tries to spin off of attempts for additional yardage. Generally, finishes runs by falling forward. Doesn’t shy away from contact in pass protection and has the anchor strength to absorb power.
