Wilson appeared in the 3rd episode of this season’s Last Chance U. He was QB for Garden City CC in 2017. It looks like he ended up at Kentucky for this season.

Such a drastic improvement and uptick in getting highly rated qbs who also fit the system. Three 4-star Qbs to fill 3 different classes (17, 18, and 19) over an 8 month stretch of recruiting is impressive.

Is he a 4 star by ESPN? Rivals and 247 show him as 3 star.
Especially before playing the first game. That's really incredible when you think about it.

I agree. I could see him being a pretty high 4 star actually. Even if that means he is classified as an athlete.

Wow....10 QBs on the roster.
Not sure how many of those guys were scholarship guys but ... what .... three years later we had two scholarship guys left.

Sad to see such a lack of attachment for so many guys to move around as free agents in effect.
It seems far too many are just focused on sports participation with little regard for education matters. When 90% plus of college athletes even at the top levels of the sport are never going to be a pro, the schools and players are truly wasting the time in school. School is just ancillary and incidental. Somehow the purpose for being in college is being lost.
Many kids have big dreams I guess but apparently the players are not enjoying their time as college students and are just viewing the whole college experience as a “job” not an adventure in life and becoming a successful adult ready to enter post athletics life generally.
Maybe not a new thing but the detachment from friends, school and team mates & coaches is troubling certainly.
