1998 Media Guide: A 34-game Ohio State veteran who is coming off a fine showing in spring practice … possessed with excellent quickness and is a terrific pass rusher … must continue to work on stopping the run … ends coach Shawn Simms is a believer of Wilson, saying that he “just needs to carry the run-stopping abilities that we see in practice into the game … he shows quickness and technique to get the job done” … enters his senior season with 31 tackles including five tackles for loss … four of those TFLs are sacks.

1995 Media Guide: Redshirted last year as a true freshman … plays the strong side end and will vie with Brian Stoughton for playing time behind All-America candidate Mike Vrabel … played well in the spring and should be a solid player once he acquires the necessary experience … appears to have a bright future with the Buckeyes.
