Wilson is a 5-11, 175, Freshman wide receiver from Inderkum High School, Sacramento, CA. He only played in 1 game last season and had 4 catches for 56 yards and no touchdowns. I could not find a reason that Wilson only played in 1 game. He was initially committed to Utah, but switched to Arizona late. Here is Brandon Combs analysis on Wilson from AZ Desert Swarm:
He is bringing big play potential with him to Tucson. He has very good speed and is able to get behind his defender consistently. He marries that speed with quickness and twitchy play that makes him a big play threat.

Wilson has solid route running as well. He is particularly dangerous on slants and posts in the middle of the field. His isn’t as crisp on his cuts during a route, but he has the talent and speed to still run good routes.

It isn’t necessarily a stretch to compare Wilson’s role to Jacob Cowing’s. He runs the slants in the middle of the field, is effective on screens, and is a freak with the ball in his hands. He obviously isn’t up to that skill level, but he is talented enough to be an effective offensive weapon and maybe even get to Cowing’s level.

One potential issue is he hasn’t played in a couple of seasons. There are reasons for his absence, mostly due to injury, but it shouldn’t be too much of a problem once he gets settled in Tucson.
