Draft Profile: Bio
The No. 1 safety recruit in his class, Wilson has taken a winding road: Florida, then Arizona State for a Big 12 title run, then Memphis, and now West Virginia for 2026, his fourth program.He started thirteen games at Memphis in 2025 and tied for the team lead with two interceptions, and projects into a key role in the Mountaineers secondary.
At 6-1 and 210 pounds with pedigree and deep experience across several systems, he is a physical, well-traveled safety still looking for the season that matches his recruiting billing.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Elite recruiting pedigree as a former No. 1 safety
- Deep experience across four programs and multiple systems
- Ball skills with two interceptions in 2025
- Size and physicality at 6-1, 210
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Journeyman path across four schools raises fit and consistency questions
- Never became a star at any stop
- Needs to anchor a secondary for a full season
- Production has not matched the recruiting billing
- Scheme and role continuity is a recurring problem
Scouting Report: Summary
Wilson is a physical, experienced safety and former No. 1 recruit whose four-program path has stocked him with reps and produced two interceptions at Memphis in 2025. However, the journeyman route raises fit and consistency questions, he never became a star at any stop, and the production has not matched the pedigree.Overall, Wilson is a well-traveled, physical safety whose experience and ball skills are the draw, with the lack of a standout season the concern. He projects as a developmental depth safety, with the ceiling of a rotational starter if he anchors West Virginia's secondary and the floor of a special-teams contributor.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank
in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance.
For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.
*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
