Positives
Smart, intense defender with a three-down game. Patient, instinctive and quickly reads and diagnoses the action. Breaks down well, displays good change-of-direction skills and attacks ball carriers. Possesses a nice build, effectively plays the run and wraps up tackling. Plays heads-up football and always looks to get involved in the action. Sells out to make plays and sacrifices his body to make the stop. Unfolds plays before they happen. Rarely off his feet, takes good angles and covers a good amount of area on the field.

Negatives
Really better up the field or sideline to sideline than in reverse. Stiff.

Analysis
Wilson is a hard-charging linebacker who stands out against the run and shows some ability in zone coverage. He offers scheme versatility and could eventually develop into a starter at the next level.
