Early life

Wilson suffered a second knee injury during summer training camp and redshirted his true freshman season at NC State.[6] He led the Wolfpack with 69 tackles during his redshirt freshman season.[7] Wilson made 108 tackles with 11.5 tackles for loss, 3.5 sacks, and two interceptions and was named first team All-Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) in his redshirt sophomore season.[8] He suffered a season ending shoulder injury in the second game of his junior season.[9] In 2023, Wilson received the Butkus Award given annually to college football's best linebacker.[10]

2024 season

Wilson was selected in the third round (98th overall) of the 2024 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers.[13] The Philadelphia Eagles originally had possession of the 98th overall selection until it was traded to the Steelers in exchange for Kenny Pickett.

Ahead of the regular season, Wilson was named the team's second string left inside linebacker behind Patrick Queen, beating out Mark Robinson for the backup role.[14]

On August 17, 2024, during a pre-season game against the Buffalo Bills, Wilson was tackled by Ryan Van Demark and his back leg was stepped up on and bent backwards. Despite this injury, he still made his first professional appearance in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons where he would make his first tackle on wide receiver Drake London. He would finish the game making three tackles in the 18-10 Steelers victory.[15] By Week 6 of the season, Wilson had accumulated 18 tackles and eight assists, averaging 3.3 tackles a game.[16] On October 13, he would record his first tackle for loss during the Steelers' 32-13 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.

Personal life

Wilson is the younger brother of Major League Baseball pitcher Bryse Wilson.[17]
