Listed at 6-foot-7 and 285 pounds, Wilson is already a monstrous offensive tackle from Southlake Carroll High School in Texas. It's still extremely early in the evaluation process for the 2027 class, but Wilson is unrated and unranked by every major recruiting service heading into his junior season.

Wilson's list of reported offers includes Florida State, Arizona State, TCU, UTEP, UTSA and Wake Forest. He already took an unofficial visit to Florida State on June 18. Although the list isn't extensive, the Sooners still had to really impress Wilson for him to commit this early, especially with head coach Brent Venables going into the 2025 season on the hot seat.

The Sooners just recently starting really pursuing their 2027 class. Midnight on June 15 was the beginning of the contact period for 2027 football recruits, meaning college coaches could call and text those prospects directly for the first time. At that point, the Sooners had already handed out 115 offers to 2027 prospects, according to 247Sports. OU offered Wilson on June 13.
