Wilson came to Georgia as the top-ranked offensive lineman in the country. Out of Poly Prep High School in Brooklyn, NYC, and already 6-7, 345, he struggled mightily to adapt to the searing Southern heat and humidity. He also was not reasonably tested by anyone in high school, considering how much bigger and stronger he was than his competition.

As a two-year starter for the Dawgs, Wilson helped lead Georgia teams that won 11 and 12 games and put up three 1,000-yard rushers: Elijah Holyfield (once) and  D’Andre Swift (twice).
