Draft Profile: Bio
The son of former Auburn defensive end Jon Wilson and brother of an Oklahoma State lineman, Sheridan was a District Offensive Lineman of the Year and an Under Armour All-American out of Argyle, Texas. A three-star, he picked Texas Tech over a long list of offers. He won the starting center job out of preseason camp and held it all year.In 2025 Wilson started fourteen games at center, taking more than 520 pass-blocking snaps and 433 in the run game while allowing zero sacks on the season, according to Pro Football Focus, surrendering just four pressures total. The clean protection and the football bloodlines made him one of the steadier young centers in the Big 12, a heady pivot man who rarely misfires. The zero sacks allowed across nearly 600 pass-blocking snaps marked one of the cleaner center seasons in the country, and the football bloodlines run deep in a player who rarely beats himself.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Four pressures allowed on 529 protection snaps, the stingiest pocket in this group.
- Ranked among the nation's best pass-blocking centers for a second straight year.
- Anchored fourteen games of a conference-championship run without missing a start.
- All-Big 12 recognition with a preseason Rimington watch-list pedigree.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Eleven penalties, an alarming total that taxes every clean rep.
- Drive-blocking marks sit near the bottom of these centers.
- Utah and Oregon State exposed the drive-blocking gap early.
- Quick-release scheme help inflates the raw protection numbers he posts.
- Middling foot speed limits what he offers at the second level.
Scouting Report: Summary
Nobody in this center group protects the passer better by the numbers: four pressures allowed across 529 snaps of a Big 12 championship season, a second consecutive year among the nation's best-graded pass-blocking pivots, and fourteen starts without a wobble for an offense that lived in the dropback game. Wilson's quick-set timing and early hands are the technical engine, and the all-conference and Rimington watch recognition followed naturally.The penalties are the loudest problem, eleven of them, an extraordinary total that hands back the margin his protection wins, and the run game is the quieter one, with grades near the bottom of this group and early-season tapes against Utah and Oregon State that showed the drive-blocking gap plainly. The scheme deserves a slice of the protection credit too: quick releases protect centers as much as centers protect quarterbacks.
The NFL employs plenty of protection-first centers, but they snap clean, flag-free football, which makes his 2026 assignment unambiguous: cut the penalties in half and survive the power matchups. The pass-blocking foundation is real, measurable and rare at this point in any class, giving him a credible late-round case with specialist upside, and a disciplined, flag-free senior year would move this file faster and further than any workout number he could possibly post in the spring.
