Wilson was a truly elite player as a Buckeye. He finishes his career with 2,213 receiving yards (including a 1,058 yard campaign in 2021), good for 10th all-time in Ohio State history. He snagged 23 touchdowns (7th all-time in Ohio State history) through the air and added one on the ground as well.
A five-star recruit out of Austin, Texas, Wilson was the highest-rated offensive signee in Ohio State’s 2019 recruiting class, sticking with Ryan Day after originally committing to Urban Meyer. Alongside Chris Olave and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Wilson formed a deadly trio that was called the best in the country by many analysts.
Wilson is projected to be a first-round pick in the upcoming 2022 NFL Draft, and could be the first wide receiver taken.
