Giants worked out 6-foot-11 Jack Wilson

The New York Giants worked out 6-foot-11 Jack Wilson, a two sport athlete and offensive lineman, earlier this week.

As the season nears, teams around the league are scrambling to figure out which players will be part of their final 53-man rosters. The New York Giants are no different as they continue to work out players to ensure no gaps are missed.

On Thursday, the Giants worked out Jack Wilson, a 6-foot-11, 338-pound offensive lineman out of Washington State.

Wilson was a two-sport collegiate athlete who hasn’t seen the football field since 2022. He walked on to the Cougars’ football team as a red-shirt sophomore after transferring from Idaho. He didn’t play in any games that year.

In 2021, Wilson appeared in all 13 games, mostly field goal and PAT tries, according to the school website.

Wilson’s senior season in 2022 was more of the same, mostly special teams appearances but he did play both right tackle and left tackle in different games that year. In total, he appeared in 25 collegiate football games.

Wilson’s size is likely what caught the eye of the Giants. You can’t teach size. But you can teach a big guy how to use that size.

Still, until he inks his name, there’s no telling what the Giants will do with Wilson. If anything at all.

Rutgers has recently reached out, asking Wilson to fill out a questionnaire. This week, he got an invite to camp this summer.

“I am planning on being at camp on June 16,” Wilson told Rutgers Wire.

“I will also be attending the Wisconsin Badgers camp on June 19.”

The contact from Rutgers is still new but Wilson is learning about the program. He has a positive impression of the program’s direction under head coach [autotag]Greg Schiano[/autotag].

“I love their aggression on the defensive side of the ball and I definitely think they are on the rise in the Big Ten,” Wilson said.

“They are also a great developmental program and coach Schiano is doing a great job.”

As for his upcoming visits, Wilson is mapping them out. At least one other Big Ten program will likely join Rutgers and Wisconsin as camp visits this summer for Wilson.

“I haven’t finalized my camp schedule for the summer yet but those two are for sure,” Wilson said about Rutgers and Wisconsin camps.

“Also looking at possibly getting up to Minnesota. I’m also planning on going to Central Michigan in a few weeks to get to a spring practice.”
