About Ricky
Expert Analysis
Ed OBrien | Prep Redzone Scout
Wilson is a reliable slot receiver who currently brings value as a short-to-intermediate route runner, vertical seam threat, and return specialist. He is quick off the line with solid top-end speed, which can be seen on a few plays, including a couple of kickoff returns. Wilson shows toughness in his willingness to block and make catches despite contact. His stock will increase once he can provide more highlights of himself running an expanded route tree.

Easily one of the top performers on the day was Friendship Collegiate Academy standout Wilson Jr’].. My co-worker Rion Young was on him early and with good reason, Wilson is trending to be a major Division 1 wideout in a couple years. The 2028 prospect is the type of prospect that you need to get the football in his hands. He looked smooth and comfortable with the receivers all afternoon, and he showed why many FBS schools are already interested.
