Depth Chart Overview
Wilson spent two seasons (but only one year for eligibility purposes due to the spring 2021 FCS season) at McNeese State, where he saw sporadic action on defense. He only saw 57 total snaps with the Cowboys, with 44 of them coming in the fall.
He played under his father at McNeese and followed him when he resigned to rejoin LSU’s staff as an assistant.
He appeared in two games last year, blowout wins over New Mexico and Purdue in the Citrus Bowl. His biggest moment came in the latter, when he took a 99-yard interception return for a touchdown against the Boilermakers.
Wilson enters 2023 likely buried on the depth chart once again in a talented secondary, but he will likely see some reserve action while helping on the scout team.
